UBU Design
Form-mail Servlet Version 1.0 Installation
System requirement:
-A server with Java Servlet support.
Since this product is a java-based Servlet you can install
it on any operating system as long as the HTTP server that is running supports Java
Servlets. An example of such server would be Apache Tomcat. If you don’t know
if your server has support for Servlets then check with your system
administrator or your hosting service provider.
Installation:
First download and register UBU
Design Form-mail Servlet package from our ftp site if you haven’t done so
already at: ftp://ftp.ubudesign.com/pub/ubudesign/products/formmail.zip
After downloading unzip the file
into a temporary folder. You should have the following directory structure.
Then you can copy these files to your server.
/conf
/database
/htdocs
/servlet
/uploads
Please read some of the notes in
/conf/formmail.properties file for customizing and mapping location of files
and folders.
Except for the html files all
other files should be placed outside of your Document Root (/htdoc).
Also usually the /servlet folder
is virtual and it’s mapped to a directory /WEB-INF/classes on your server. In
either case copy all of the files from /servlet to either of these folders. So
you would have something like this on your server:
/WEB-INF/classes/com/ubudesign/….
Or
/servlet/com/ubudesign/….
Locate your server’s web.xml file and add the following
block nested within the <web-app> tag. This is for mapping a name to the
UbuServlet class and to indicate the location of the property file (formmail.properties)
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ubuformmail</servlet-name>
<servlet-class> com.ubudesign.servlet.UbuServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>properties</param-name>
<param-value>/conf/formmail.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
After adding this edit the property file /conf/formmail.properties
to customize things and restart your server and test the sample_form.html
