The Active Web servlet class is supplied in the concerto.jar file; this can be found as part of the distribution or in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your deployed Active Web installation.  There are several other Java Archive (JAR) files which are also used by Active Web you should not remove them or Active Web will not operate correctly.

The main servlet class is com.northgateis.concerto.servlet.script.ConcertoServlet; by default the servlet can be installed into a servlet container without any additional parameters configured.  Under these circumstances the servlet will only execute with a default configuration for two hours, this is intended as a demonstration mode providing full functionality but only for a limited time period.  Should you require a longer period for evaluation then please contact support@proiv.com.

The mechanism for configuring a servlet tends to vary between servlet containers, so you should refer to your specific container documentation for how it wants a servlet to be installed.

When deploying the Active Web servlet as part of a web archive the deployment configuration is clearly defined as part of the servlet standard.  A servlet’s configuration is defined as part of the web archive deployment descriptor. This is an XML configuration file (web.xml) found at a pre-defined location within the WAR file. See Building a Web Application WAR File for how to create a WAR file.
