+ Archiva can be deployed as a web application into any Java EE application server. This document will show an
+ example of doing so with Tomcat 5.5.

To deploy Archiva on Tomcat 5.5
* Create a directory in tomcat called archiva, at the same level as bin, conf, logs and the others.

+Archiva Configuration
- While exploring Archiva, or perhaps while developing with it, you will want to delete the
- current state. Presuming you followed the instructions above, you will need to remove the
- following files from the ${catalina.home} directory. Ensure your Tomcat has first been
- shutdown.
+ Archiva is configured using the <<<~/.m2/archiva.xml>>> configuration file by default when using a Java EE application server.

- # Remove the database
- rm -r bin/database/ bin/derby.log
- # Remove the archiva configuration
- rm $HOME/.m2/archiva.xml
- # Remove the temporary Tomcat files
- rm webapps/archiva/ work/Catalina/localhost/archiva/ logs/*
- # Remove the war file (if you're deploying a new one)
- rm archiva/*.war

+Upgrading Archiva
+
+ To upgrade the Archiva web application, simply replace the web application with an alternative. Since the database and configuration files are stored
+ externally to the application, no further maintainance is needed.
+
+ For general information about upgrading Archiva, see the relevant section in the {{{standalone.html#Upgrading%20Archiva} Installing standalone}} guide.
+
+Configuring and Running Archiva
+
+ Once Archiva is running, it is configured in the same way as the standalone instance. See the {{{../quick-start.html#Configuring%20and%20Running%20Archiva} quick start}} guide for more information.
