There is no end-user command-line tool for WebMDS.

1. Tool description

The command-line tool webmds-create-context-file is used to create Tomcat configuration files needed to deploy WebMDS.

2. Command syntax

webmds-create-context-file [-f] tomcat_context_file

The tomcat_context_file argument is the location of the Tomcat configuration file defining the WebMDS context; in a default Tomcat installation, the location of this file will be $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost.

By default, webmds-create-context-file will not overwrite an existing context file; the -f option is used to force webmds-create-context-file to overwrite an existing file.

Note: webmds-create-context-file is found in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/webmds/bin

3. Example

    $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/webmds/bin/webmds-create-context-file -f \
         $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost

4. Limitations

Changes to the Tomcat context do not take effect until Tomcat is restarted or reloaded.
