Host Software Installation for Java
Version 3


Software requirements

  • Web Server such as Apache or Microsoft IIS on a LAN/WAN server that clients can access

  • Appropriate middleware such as IBM WebSphere Application Server and TomCat Java Servlet Engine

  • Jargon Writer, version 3 and higher

  • Jargon Reader, version 3 and higher

Installation

  • You are strongly encouraged to create a site-specific installation reference notebook in which you can note the directory locations, option choices and other information from each step of the installation process. Doing this can be very useful in subsequent steps and for future reference.

  • Copy the "jargonsoft" folder and contents from the "Java" folder in your Jargon Writer working directory (on the client) to your host. This folder contains one subfolder (jsi) which in turn contains all the "jsi" source (.java) and bytecode (.class) files that comprise the "jargonsoft.jsi" package.

  • Write your application logic in Java source (.java files) and compile them into bytecode (.class) files.

  • Build the Java servlet deployment files (such as ".war" and ".ear" formats) using the above jargonsoft.jsi package and your application class files, according to the installation instructions for your middleware product.
