Installing Java
Prepare the application server by installing JDK 1.6.0 and JBoss 7.
- Download JDK 1.6.0 from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
- Install to the default location. This location will be referred to as $JAVA_HOME in
the text to follow.
Note: On Linux, Connect uses OpenJDK 6, which is available through each Linux distribution's
package distribution mechanism. We recommend that you consult the documentation for each
Linux distribution on how to install OpenJDK 6, as this installation information changes
frequently.
Installing JBoss
- Download JBoss 7 from
http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/.
- Unzip the file to a directory such as /opt/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.
We will call this $JBOSS_HOME in the text below.
- To test your installation, set the JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME environment variables. Then
run $JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh. Examine the command line output and
correct any errors.
- Once JBoss has started, point a browser to http://localhost:8080 to verify that it is
working. JBoss will listen on port 8080 by default.
