Update Websydian Web Server Component

Make sure that you have a current backup of the WAR file deployed on your Web Server Servlet engine before continuing.

Run the pack.exe located in the subdirectory "Web Server Component" of your Websydian Express to update the WAR file used by the Servlet Engine.

The packaging tool (pack.exe) will prompt you for automatic deployment on the local Tomcat engine if available and configuration uses this Tomcat instance. If this is not the case you have to deploy the WAR file manually.

Support Service! If you are in doubt please contact Websydian Support at support@websydian.com

Note for Plex developers

Make sure that you download the latest installation package of Websydian v6.0 to obtain v2.1 of the WSYAPI library model.
