The installation procedure depends on which servlet container you're deploying it to. There are also multiple ways to install servers on any given servlet container. In all instances:
- Install the server into its own dedicated container (one not shared with another web application).
- Deploy the WAR file at the root context of the servlet container.
- The server should run as a different user than the system user.
