Supported Platforms

The Java Web Server^(TM) is officially supported only under the Solaris^TM SPARC^TM and Windows NT environments. Windows 95 is supported for development but not deployment because Microsoft does not consider it a server platform.

While Java Web Server 2.0 can run on any platform that supports Java Development Kit (JDK^TM) 1.1.7, platforms other than Solaris and Windows are untested and therefore unsupported.

Note: SSL support shipped with Java Web Server is operating-system dependant and so is not available for non-Windows, non-Solaris platforms.

Prerequisites

• For the server environment:
  You require a Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.1.7 or JDK 1.1.7-compliant Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
   
• For the the client environment:
  You require a JDK 1.1-compatible browser to run the Java Web Server administrative tools.

  Note: Most recent browsers are JDK 1.1-compatible. Current versions of Netscape Navigator (4.0) and Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0) are known to be compatible.

Defaults

• Installation Directory
  server_root is the directory that will contain the installed Java Web Server product.

  For example:
  /opt/SUNWjws/JavaWebServer2.0   (Solaris example)
   
  C:\JavaWebServer2.0\    (Windows example)

• Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
  Java Web Server 2.0 supports JDK 1.1.7 or JDK 1.1.7-compliant JREs. By default, on supported platforms JRE 1.1.7 is automatically installed in the server_root/jre directory. Where server_root is the the directory containing the installed Java Web Server product.

  For example:
  /opt/SUNWjws/JavaWebServer2.0/jre   (Solaris example)
   
  C:\JavaWebServer2.0\jre    (Windows example)

• Ports
  The Java Web Server 2.0 installs its services on the following ports:

  Administration Tool	9090
  Web Service	8080
  Secure Service	7070

  These ports can be changed after installation using the Java Web Server Administration Tool, the product documentation tells you how.
