WebApollo Embed

Work in progress: come back later

Description of setting up WebApollo as an embedded web application

Use case

1. Run WebApollo as an integrated component of a web application
2. Support multiple species
3. Support multiple users with private editing session
   • Users can have multiple projects/species
4. Jump straight to edit mode without user login

Installation

1. Use the regular installation/configuration procedure
2. Use exemplar species sequence annotations, we will add multiple species support below

Unsorted odds and ends

The key thing that must be done for multiple species/users/sessions on one server is creating multiple tomcat webapps by cloning the WebApollo Directory tree.

Anatomy of a WebApollo clone

• The clone of the webapp is almost entirely symbolic links, except where otherwise noted.
• We can't just create a symbolic link to the base WebApollo installation because some of the internal components are real files
