1.1 plehegar 31: <p>
32: The <a href='http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2002/css-validator'>CSS validator</a> is available for download using CVS.
33: Follow the <a href='http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/'>instructions</a> to
1.4 plehegar 34: access the W3C CVS public server and get 2002/css-validator. Note
1.8 ! ot 35: that the online version of the CSS Validator is generally older than the CVS
! 36: version so results and appearance may vary slightly...
1.7 ot 37: </p>
1.8 ! ot 38: <h4>Download as java package (jar or war)</h4>
! 39: <p>TBD... we just need a stable location to put jar/war archives on a regular basis</p>

41: <h3>Installation guide</h3>
42: <p>The CSS validation service is a servlet software, written in Java. It may be installed on any servlet engine,
43: and can also be used as a simple command-line tool.
44: The official W3C CSS Validation service is running with the Jigsaw server, which is the recommended setup.
45: However, for the sake of simplicity, we will, in this document, mostly provide details on how to install
1.8 ! ot 46: it as an online servlet with Apache's servlet engine Tomcat.</p>
1.7 ot 47:
48: <p>Some instructions on installing the servlet with Jigsaw, as well as running it from a command-line environment,
49: are also given below. </p>

1.8 ! ot 51: <h4 id="prereq">Prerequisites</h4>
1.7 ot 52:
1.8 ! ot 53: <p>This installation guide assumes that you have downloaded, installed and tested: </p>
! 54: <ul class="instructions">
! 55: <li>A working java environment,</li>
! 56: <li>The <a href="http://ant.apache.org/">Ant</a> java building tool</li>
! 57: <li>A java Web servlet container such as <a href="http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/">Jigsaw</a>,
! 58: <a href="http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/">Jigsaw</a>, <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/">Tomcat</a> or
! 59: <a href="http://www.mortbay.org/">Jetty</a> if you plan on using the validator as an online service.
! 60: This guide only covers Tomcat and Jigsaw in details.</li>
! 61: </ul>
! 62: <p id="prereq-libs">For the installation of the validator onto your system, you will
! 63: need to download and/or find in your system a number of java libraries:</p>
! 64: <ul class="instructions">
! 65: <li>servlet.jar
! 66: (which, if you have Tomcat installed in [<span class="const">TOMCAT_DIR</span>],
! 67: you should find in [<span class="const">TOMCAT_DIR</span>]/common/lib/, possibly
! 68: under the name servlet-api.jar. If not, get it at
! 69: <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html">java.sun.com</a></li>
! 70: <li><a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/Devel/classes-2.2/20060329/">jigsaw.jar</a></li>
! 71: <li>xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar (which can be downloaded with
! 72: <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-j/">xerces-j-bin</a>).</li>

1.8 ! ot 75: <h4>Install the CSS Validator with Tomcat</h4>
! 76: <ol class="instructions">
1.7 ot 77: <li>
1.8 ! ot 78: Download validator as explained <a href="#source">above</a>.
! 79: </li>
! 80: <li>Copy the whole source folder ("<span class="dir">.../css-validator/</span>") to the <span class="dir">webapps</span>
! 81: directory within your installation of tomcat. usually, this will be
! 82: <span class="dir">[<span class="const">TOMCAT_DIR</span>]/webapps/</span>.
! 83: The Validator's sources are now in <span class="dir">[<span class="const">TOMCAT_DIR</span>]/webapps/css-validator</span>,
! 84: which we will now call <span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]</span>.
1.7 ot 85: </li>
1.8 ! ot 86: <li>In "<span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]</span>" create a directory "<span class="dir">WEB-INF</span>".</li>
! 87: <li>In "<span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]/WEB-INF</span>" create a directory "<span class="dir">lib</span>".</li>
! 88: <li>Copy all the jar files (from the <a href="#prereq-libs">prerequisites</a>) to the directory "<span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]/WEB-INF/lib</span>"</li>
! 89: <li>Compile the validator's source: from the directory <span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]</span>,
! 90: Run <kbd>ant</kbd>, while making sure that the jar files you downloaded are correctly set in you CLASSPATH environment variable.
! 91: Generally, the following will just work:<br />
! 92: <kbd>CLASSPATH=.:./WEB-INF/lib:$CLASSPATH ant</kbd>
1.7 ot 93: </li>
1.8 ! ot 94: <li>Copy or move "<span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]/</span><span class="file">css-validator.jar</span>"
! 95: to "<span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]/WEB-INF/lib/</span>".</li>
1.7 ot 96: <li>
1.8 ! ot 97: Copy or move file "<span class="file">web.xml</span>" from
! 98: "<span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]/</span>" to
! 99: "<span class="dir">[<span class="const">VALIDATOR_DIR</span>]/WEB-INF/</span>".
1.7 ot 100: </li>
1.8 ! ot 101: <li>
! 102: Finally, reload the Tomcat server:<br />
! 103: <kbd>"cd <span class="dir">[<span class="const">TOMCAT_DIR</span>]</span>; <span class="dir">./bin/</span><span class="file">shutdown.sh</span>; <span class="dir">./bin/</span><span class="file">startup.sh</span>;"</kbd>
1.7 ot 104: </li>
1.8 ! ot 105: </ol>
1.7 ot 106:
107: <h4>Install on Jigsaw Web Server</h4>
1.8 ! ot 108: <ol class="instructions">
! 109: <li>First, download the source as described above, get the necessary jars, and build the source with <kbd>ant</kbd>.</li>
1.7 ot 110:
111: <li>Then you have to configure the validator home directory (usually this is
112: css-validator) so that it can work as a servlet container. For this purpose
113: you need to have Jigsaw installed (see the Jigsaw pages for a short
114: instruction (it is really easy)) and then start Jigsaw Admin. Change the
115: HTTPFrame to ServletDirectoryFrame.</li>
116:
117: <li>The next step is to create a resource "validator", with as class
118: 'ServletWrapper' and as frame 'ServletWrapperFrame'. The latter should add
119: itself automagically. The class of the servlet is
120: org.w3c.css.servlet.CssValidator. If there already exists a file named
121: 'validator', please rename it. It is important that this 'alias' is always
122: named 'validator'.</li>
123:
124: <li>Finally, start jigsaw and run the validator. Check which HTML you want to
125: invoke. Usually your URL will look like this:<br />
126: http://localhost:8001/css-validator/validator.html</li>
1.8 ! ot 127: </ol>
1.7 ot 128:
129: <h3>Command-line usage</h3>
130:
131: <p>The CSS validator can also be used as a command-line tool, if your computer
1.8 ! ot 132: has java installed. build the css-validator.jar as explained above, and run as:<br />
! 133: <kbd>java -jar css-validator.jar http://www.w3.org/</kbd>
