There is a Tomcat 7 bundle available Zcore_Tomcat 7.0.zip that has been lightly tested in Windows 7/32 bit. If you would like to test Zcore on 64 bit Windows, install the 64 bit version of Tomcat 7 and replace the bin directory with the 64 bit version.
The following notes are based on the author's modifications that were necessary to get Zcore running in Tomcat7.
If you are trying to configure ZEPRS on Tomcat 7, please skip to the Tomcat 7 Configuration section

Tomcat 7 has changed how it processes EL syntax in JSP's. You must change some of the Tomcat 7 system properties to enable Zcore to work. (For reference, here is a page with the Tomcat 7 properties. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/systemprops.html )
Add the following lines to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\conf\catalina.properties:
org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_WHITESPACE=false org.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true
Tomcat has changed how it processes logins. Open C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\zcore\META-INF\context.xml and change cookies="false" to cookie ="true". Here is the corrected line:
<Context path="zcore" docBase="zcore" debug="0" reloadable="false" crossContext="true" privileged="true" useNaming="true" cookies="true">
If you intend to view the app in Google Chrome, you need to ensure that the mozilla css is read for Chrome. Add the following to all of the templates at C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\zcore\WEB-INF\templates\zcore: Change
if (browser.isGecko}
to
if (browser.isGecko || browser.isSafari)
Access the app from http://localhost:8080/zcore/ - The original Zcore app runs on port 8088. This can be changed if necessary.
