TracerouteWrapperServlet enables a graphical user interface to a traceroute command-line tool through a web-based application.
The installation process for TracerouteWrapperServlet is quite straightforward. Firstly, ensure that you have JRE 1.3.1 or Java 2 SDK 1.3.1 or higher installed on your system. You also need to install a servlet runner such as Apache Tomcat. Once these requirements have been met, copy the files included in the distribution to a directory of your choosing. It is advisable to maintain the same directory structure as in the zipped file, unless it's unsuitable for you.
Next, edit the properties file found in your installed directory at TracerouteWrapperServlet/WEB-INF/classes/inifile.properties to match your server's environment. This involves providing the path to the traceroute executable on your server, which is not included in this distribution since it is part of your operating system.
Configuration of your servlet runner is necessary to include a context for TracerouteWrapperServlet. Lastly, you will need to edit the HTML template file at yourInstallDirTracerouteWrapperServletindex.html by replacing the location in the tag with the URL pointing to your installation of TracerouteWrapperServlet.
The new release of TracerouteWrapperServlet includes the ability to dynamically reload properties files and minor bug fixes. This software's ease of use and comprehensive functionality earn it high marks.
