#### 3.2.1.2. Advanced installation: Using another tomcat distribution.

Nova Orchestra is shipped with a ligthweight Apache Tomcat Servlet container. This section explains how to install Nova Orchestra in an existing tomcat distribution.

The install.properties file in the conf directory contains the information used by orchestra installation. The default content is:

    			catalina.base=${catalina.home}

To use another tomcat installation, just update the catalina.home and catalina.base properties before calling:

    >ant install
