Deploying eXist

xEAC depends upon eXist as the XML database, but this could be switched with another XML database which follows the same REST protocols. The eXist WAR file should be placed in Tomcat's webapps folder. Instructions for building exist.war can be found here. I highly recommend following the first set of instructions for building the WAR from the standard distribution.

Note: Be sure to rename the WAR file exist.war before placing into Tomcat's webapps folder

By default, eXist has an “admin” user with administrative privileges, and the password is blank. If you change the eXist server URL, username, or password, you can edit exist-config.xml, located in the xEAC installation folder. The default config is shown below:

<exist-config>
	<username>admin</username>
	<password/>
	<url>http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/</url>
</exist-config>

You can use the client.sh to upload directly into xEAC and change usernames and passwords.
