Deploying in an external Web container
For development, and simple test deployments, QuarkXPress Server and QuarkXPress
Server Manager are provided pre-installed in an instance of Apache Tomcat. However, for
production deployment alongside other Web applications, QuarkXPress Server and
QuarkXPress Server Manager can be deployed in an existing Tomcat, WebSphere, or JBoss
Web container.
