JumpBox for Tomcat Java Web Application Deployment for Mac

• Flexible deployment options: Applications can be deployed either as .war files or as a directory via the Tomcat manager.
• Suitable for testing as well as production usage: This JumpBox comes configured with Tomcat behind Apache web server so it's suitable not just for development purposes but can function under production load as well.
• An easy way to make your application available: It's possible to assemble a complex application on this JumpBox and then use the backup mechanism to export the changes. You can effectively distribute your application by making the backup file available for download and instructing users to use the file to restore into an empty JumpBox for Tomcat. Coupled with the Rapid Trial widget this gives your visitors a convenient way to try out your Java application.
• Even less setup: It comes with a pre-configured MySQL database so there's even less setup work involved.
