The Corticon Server for Java can be installed into any application server that has a Java container. As part of the Corticon Server installer, a web application called axis.war is downloaded. This axis.war contains the web services that will call into the Corticon Server running in the application server. These web services allow clients to execute against Decision Services through SOAP and REST. The administrative web services (deploy and modify Decision Services) can be called through REST only.

As you approach production, you might want to access the server download bundle that enables the Corticon Server to run on other application servers: Corticon Supported Platforms Matrix . See also Corticon KnowledgeBase entries that describe each application server setup.

Note: HTTPS - If you want to set up your Java server for TLS-secured communications, see the topic How to set up encryption between Java servers and clients
