I am trying to include some external plugins to my cockpit in Camunda. I have downloaded the war file for the same from plugin store . Later I saved the war file in
...\CamundaHome\server\apache-tomcat-7.0.50\webapps
folder on my system. Also, I tried saving it in
..\CamundaHome\server\apache-tomcat-7.0.50\webapps\camunda-webapp-7.2.0-plugins\WEB-INF\lib folder.
I have restarted the server but the cockpit doesn't add the required plugins. What more information do I need to add? Thanks.
Tomcat Server: 7.0.50
Camunda BPM: 7.2.0
PS: Above was the first stage of the problem. The real problem occurs during deployment. I have provided the solution in comment. Thanks!
If you download the complete WAR from the Plugin Store you have to REPLACE the existing webapp under ..\CamundaHome\server\apache-tomcat-7.0.50\webapps. So remove the original one there (which is deployed "exploded" - so it is the folder ..\CamundaHome\server\apache-tomcat-7.0.50\webapps\camunda) before saving the new war to ..\CamundaHome\server\apache-tomcat-7.0.50\webapps.
Then it should work.
Make sure that you create the WAR for Tomcat in the Plugin Store.
