• Setup method how to access remote Tomcat servers (web.xml)

	<context-param>
		<param-name>remote_webapps</param-name>
		<!-- Remote applications will be listed via SSH command (allow Tomcat user to access this command without auth.) -->
		<param-value>/var/tomcat/webapps</param-value>

Notice: Třetí neimplementovaný způsob je volání JMX přímo (Tomcat musí být nakonfigurován).

Application Requirements (how to add an app)

Add a static file into the document root if you have only one application language (i18n) or dynamically generated file by locale query parameter. The file name must be app.json. Example:

{
   "name": "Title",
   "description": "Lorem Ipsum",
   "iconURL": "http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/images/pieces/24/cube_green.png",
   "target": "_self",
   "project": Colorado,
   "tag": null
}

Notice: The file app.json must be excluded from authentication. Example (web.xml):

<security-constraint>
  <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>Public</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/app.json</url-pattern>
  </web-resource-collection>
  <!-- No auth-constraint means everybody has access! -->
</security-constraint>

If you wish to make the back button in an app, see request parameter menu:
