These instructions are for installing FlexDeploy on an existing Tomcat server.  If you are installing a new server, see Installing FlexDeploy with included Tomcat for a simplified installation which includes the Tomcat 8.5.11 server.  If you wish to use an existing Tomcat server, or to use a different version of Tomcat, please continue with this installation.

    • Extract zip files in flat structure using unzip -j (works on Windows and UNIX)
      • cd <TOMCAT_HOME>/lib

    • You should see a large number of jars now in the tomcat/lib folder.
  • ADF Essentials comes with the JDBC driver for Oracle 11g database (ojdbc6dms.jar).  If you are using Oracle 12c database, you can download the driver from the Oracle Technology Network site.
Info

If adding another JDBC driver, be sure to remove the default one which comes with the ADF Essentials libraries (ojdbc6dms.jar).  If you leave multiple JDBC drivers in the lib folder, you could encounter the following exception on startup:
