GRIA Client Management Installation
Up one level
Introduction
The GRIA Client Management software itself is contained within a single WAR (or "web archive") file gria-client-mgt.war, located within the /war directory of this package. Once the pre-requisites have been set-up and the war file has been deployed to Tomcat, the web-based administration interface guides the user through the rest of the installation process.
