I built a Web Server to study Server and tried to execute Java Application.

After investigating, it seems that you can move it for the time being by doing the following.

3. Construction procedure
Java execution environment construction
Install the JDK to run Java execution on the server. The following site was easy to understand. ■ Reference: I tried to put Tomcat 9 in CentOS 7
Install by running the following command on the server (JDK8).
# yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64
(If you want to search for other JDK, execute the following command.)
# yum search openjdk
Confirm that it is installed with the following command.
# java -version
It is OK if the following output is output.
openjdk version "1.8.0_252"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_252-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.252-b09, mixed mode)
Preparation of Servlet container
Install tomcat, a servlet container, to run Java Servlets (Java programs that run on the server). I often hear tomcat, but I used it without knowing it ... First, add a user to run Tomcat (username: tomcat).
# useradd -s /sbin/nologin tomcat
- / Sbin / nologin seems to mean a user who cannot log in. Is the user "tomcat" created here a script for starting the service? It seems that you don't need to be able to log in because you only use it with (systemd).
■ Reference: How to execute commands as a user who cannot log in + bonus
Then download the file to the server for Tomcat installation.
＃ curl -O https://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/apache/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.37/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.37.tar.gz
- The part of "https://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/apache/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.37/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.37.tar.gz" may change. Check below. Tomcat download site
Unzip the downloaded file with the following command.
# tar -xzvf apache-tomcat-9.0.37.tar.gz
Move to / usr / local / tomcat with the following command.
# mv apache-tomcat-9.0.37 /usr/local/tomcat
User owner: Change the group owner to the user "tomcat" created earlier with the following command
# chown -R tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat
Create a systemd unit file with the following command to make Tomcat recognized as a service that can be executed by the server.
- Since it is systemd from CentOS7, it seems that it manages the service.
■ Reference: Introduction to Systemd
# vi /etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service
Write the following contents in the created file and save it. To be honest, I don't really understand the content. Understanding that we are declaring that we will create such a service.
[Unit]
Description=Apache Tomcat 9
After=syslog.target network.target
[Service]
User=tomcat
Group=tomcat
Type=oneshot
PIDFile=/usr/local/tomcat/tomcat.pid
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
ExecStop=/usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
ExecReStart=/usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh;/usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
In addition, set read permission, write permission, and execute permission for the created file.
# chmod 755 /etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service
- "Owner: read / write / execute", "owner group: read / execute", and "other (others): read / execute" are set.
■ Reference: [chmod] command-change file / directory permissions (permission attributes)
Set auto-start and enable service
# systemctl enable tomcat
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/tomcat.service to /etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service.
# systemctl start tomcat
Start Tomcat.
Access the following URL and OK when the tomcat default screen appears.
[http: // server IP address: 8080 /](http: // [server IP address]: 8080 /)
Building a Web Server
It seems that it is better to install Apache HTTP server, but It seems that Tomcat also has a Web Server function, so use it (so do not install it in particular). Then, I thought that Apache HttpServer wasn't necessary in the first place, but tomcat's Web server seems to be a bonus, and considering performance, it seems better to have it.
■ Reference: [In-house study session] Apache and Tomcat (2017/03/09)
Java application placement
It seems that the java application should be placed in the webapps (/ usr / local / tomcat / webapps /) directly under the installed Tomcat. I wasn't aware of this area either, so I didn't really understand it. The following site was very easy to understand.
■ Reference: Hello World on Tomcat
For the time being, create a project folder with the following command
# mkdir /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/javaproject
After that, create a class file and web.xml. Create a classes directory with the following command.
# mkdir /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/javaproject/WEB-INF/classes
Create a java source file with the following command.
# vi /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/javaproject/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorld.java
Edit and save as follows.
HelloWorld.java
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("HelloWorld");
out.println("</html>");
out.close();
}
}
Compile with the following command.
# cd /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/javaproject/WEB-INF/classes/
# javac -classpath /usr/local/tomcat/lib/servlet-api.jar HelloWorld.java
Hello World. In the same directory. OK if you have a class. After that, create web.xml and link the URL and servlet. Create web.xml with the following command.
# vi /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/javaproject/WEB-INF/web.xml
Edit and save as follows
web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloWorld</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
hello
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/servlet/hello
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
It's finally nearing the end. It was long because I was addicted to it ... Restart tomcat with the following command.
# systemctl restart tomcat
Access the following URL and when Hello World is displayed, it's OK!
[http: // server IP address: 8080 / javaproject / servlet / hello](http: // [server IP address]: 8080 / javaproject / servlet / hello)
