Appendix B. Installing the Express-C Edition with the Tomcat Server

	Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.
	--Edsger W.Dijkstra

In Chapter 2, Installing RTC and WebSphere, you downloaded and installed the Enterprise version of Rational Team Concert, and configured it to use IBM WebSphere. This appendix assumes you have read and are familiar with that procedure, but instead are interested in installing Rational Team Concert Express-C for use with Apache Tomcat. Here, you will see the differences between the setups.

Once we install the server and client, you will do an initial setup and check the basic functionality. Throughout the book, the Rational Team Concert server runs on the built-in Tomcat server, and the Rational Team Concert client is based on Eclipse. Rational Team Concert comes with an example JUnit Project, which can be set up to get used to the different aspects of the system.

Finally, a sample project BookManager is set up in the Rational Team Concert's server. We are assuming that BookManager is already developed and stored in a Subversion source control system, where we will import it into the Rational Team Concert server. This exercise will show you the power of Rational Team Concert in importing existing source code.

You will set up the project in the Rational Team Concert server, access it through the client, and configure it for deployment in Tomcat. We will finish the chapter by looking at BookManager's modules and functionality.
