A shell script named setup_tomcat.sh is shipped with Airavata that will assist you to $subject. Following steps describe how you can do it.

d) ackrabbit-webapp-2.4.0.war

3) Run the script (setup_tomcat.sh) by providing the full file paths of the files you downloaded. This script can be found in AIRAVATA_HOME/tools/ directory.

./setup_tomcat.sh --tomcat=/home/heshan/Dev/setup/gw8/apache-tomcat-7.0.28.zip --airavata=/home/heshan/Dev/setup/gw8/apache-airavata-0.4-incubating-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip --axis2=/home/heshan/Dev/setup/gw8/axis2.war --jackrabbit=/home/heshan/Dev/setup/gw8/jackrabbit-webapp-2.4.0.war --properties=/home/heshan/Dev/setup/gw8/airavata-tomcat.properties
