R-6344 Process Commander can be hosted by the Tomcat servlet container. Tomcat is an open source product of the Jakarta Project, part of the Apache Software Foundation at www.apache.org.

If you choose to use Tomcat as your servlet container, install Tomcat before installing Process Commander. Alternatively, you can choose to install Process Commander as a Web application within a Web application server, such as the IBM WebSphere Application Server or the WebLogic Portal from Oracle.

Conventionally, browser connections to Tomcat-based Process Commander servlets use TCP/IP port 8080 or 8081.

Tomcat uses three XML files (web.xml, server.xml, and tomcat-users.xml) to control access to servlets. See Pega Developer Network article PRKB-10032 How to control access to servlets with Tomcat's web.xml file.

For details on Tomcat versions and options, consult the Platform Support Guide document, available from the Pega Developer Network.
