Application Deployment
To build the application for deployment, database connection information is required in
<source path root>/app/uuis/grails-app/conf/DataSource.groovy. The default database
type is MySQL, although PostgreSQL could be used with minimal changes. Refer to the
Grails documentation for details on specifying database connection drivers.
The DataSource.groovy configuration file requires a database username and password on
lines 3 and 4. Alternate data sources for development and production systems can be
specified in the DataSource configuration file as well. Refer to the Grails documentation
for more details.

Application Archive (WAR) file. With Apache and Tomcat running, browse to the
Tomcat server management page and upload the WAR file to deploy it.
