Deploy ZK demo application(optional)

The simplest way to test drive ZK existed application is to download and install the ZK demo application.

This step is optional. You could skip it if you prefer to start creating your own application directly.

2. Unzip zk-sandbox-6.0.0.zip
3. Copy zkdemo.war under the zk-sandbox-6.0.0 directory to $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.
4. Start/ReStart the tomcat services (In some cases, you may need to restart your container if it is running.)
5. Visit http://localhost:8080/zkdemo, and then play around with the demo application

Deploy war file to Tomcat is very easy but there're something you need to know

• Tomcat will unzip the war file to filename\ directory automatically
• You can NOT modify the content of filename\ directory unless you remove the war file, or your modification will not work.
• For more information about Tomcat's deployer, please refer to http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/deployer-howto.html

Deploy your application with IDE

When developing an application, we usually use IDE to deploy it. For more information, please refer to the document of your IDE.

If you are new to Java IDE, you might take a look at Setting up Eclipse with ZK Studio.
