Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System

Hi:

The webopi.war is basically a complete copy of CSS BOY that runs inside tomcat.
It's somewhat convenient to set up because it uses the same *.opi files as the CSS desktop version.

But it's also terribly inefficient:
Every web client starts a copy of CSS inside tomcat.
Instead of drawing on the local screen, each drawing operation is turned into text, polled by the web client, and then interpreted by Javascript in the web client.

Development of this approach has halted.
A better way forward is a separate, web-specific implementation like WebEPICS presented at the last two EPICS meetings, which also reads *.opi files but handles them in a more efficient way.

Anyway, to setup the webopi, you don't need CSS at all.
What you do need is:
* Tomcat
* webopi.war

Copy the webopi.war​ into the tomcat webapps folder.
In tomcat/conf/catalina.properties, add a line

  org.csstudio.rap.preference=/path/to/your/css_rap.ini


When you then start tomcat, you should find that it unpacks the webapps/webopi.war into a webapps/webopi directory.

When you then point a web browser to http://that_host:8080/webopi, you should see the display defined in org.csstudio.opibuilderstartup_opi.

If you get the "No connection to host.." error message that you emailed, you didn't start tomcat, or you started it on a port other than 8080, or you have a firewall blocking access to it.
