Deploying WebApp Component

Server Requirements

Even though the requirements are not very strict, you should consider the following metrics when provisioning the server for running the WebApp Component:

A processor core can handle 50 to 100 active users.
Editing an average DITA file consumes about 10MB of RAM. However, the WebApp Component includes a configurable caching mechanism that, when memory resources become low, stores the oldest files to disk.

Software Requirements

On the server side, the following applications are supported:

Apache Tomcat 7 or 8.
Java Virtual Machine 1.7 or newer (if started in security mode, Java 1.8 is required).

Other Notes

All WebApp Component configuration files are stored in a single folder that can be shared amongst multiple servers in a distributed deployment. It can also be reused when you update the server to a new version. The location of this folder is defined by the oxygen.data.dir system property. If not set, a folder that is private to the application is used.
Note: If the WebApp Component is started in security mode, you must set the oxygen.data.dir system property.
It is recommended that you install the WebApp Component in its own instance of Tomcat, without sharing it with other applications.
If you need to reload the application, you need to restart the server.
