JRun 4.0

JRun 4.0 is a proprietary Java servlet runner.

Installation Instructions

Preparation

This document is based on the following software: Zeus Web Server 4.1r4 or later, JRun 4.0, and Sun's Java Development Kit JDK 1.3..

First you need to download and install JRun. It's available from: http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/.

You will need to have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in order to install and run JRun. JREs for many platforms are freely available from: http://java.sun.com/downloads.html.

We recommend that you apply the most recent hotfixes and service packs to JRun before attempting the integration. We applied this one before our testing.

Zeus Web Server will run fine with JRun by using our NSAPI interface and JRun's Zeus-specific connector. We would like to thank Macromedia in their efforts to make this integration simple.

Installation

1. Create a Virtual Server using the Zeus Administration Server web-based user interface. Go to the NSAPI configuration page, listed under API Support in the menu bar.

2. Ensure that NSAPI functionality is enabled by clicking the appropriate radio button. Download the three default NSAPI configuration files from the NSAPI configuration page into the directory specified on the NSAPI configuration page (e.g. $ZEUSHOME/ns-config/https-jrun/config). Commit your changes for this virtual server.

3. As root, run the following:

    # cd {jrun-root}/bin
    # ./wsconfig -ws Zeus -dir $ZEUSHOME/ns-config/https-jrun/config -server samples
    

   where [jrun-root] is where you have installed JRun (e.g. /opt/jrun4), https-jrun is the location of the NSAPI skeleton files and samples is the name of the JRun Server you wish to use.

4. From the Zeus Web Controller interface, restart the virtual server you created. From a web browser, access the virtual server docroot, and request /compass/home.jsp.

   The example Compass application page should load correctly, and it should be possible to navigate the example site.
