This document describes the procedure for updating BellaDati running on Tomcat, GlassFish/Payara or Jetty application servers. If you are trying to install BellaDati on these servers, please follow the instructions on Installing BellaDati manually pages instead.

Deploying BellaDati WAR

We strongly recommend to perform a database backup before deploying the BellaDati update.

To deploy the belladati.war, simply copy the WAR archive into the appropriate directory, replacing the existing file.

Deploying the update depends on the type of application server you are using:

Tomcat users have to stop the running server instance and replace the old belladati.war file with the new one. We recommend to cleanup the working directory $TOMCAT_HOME/work and remove old application directory $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/belladati/

Jetty users have to stop the running server instance and replace the old belladati.war file with the new one.

GlassFish/Payara users have several options how to deploy the new belladati.war. The simplest way is to use the administration console (by default at port 4848). Click Applications on the left side, then the action Redeploy next to your BellaDati deployment. Select the new WAR file to update your installation.


Deploying on Glassfish/Payara

Standard BellaDati installation (installer script used)  implements  GlassFish (or Payara for newer BellaDati version) application server

If you upgrade over version 2.10 See additional informations here
