Installing and Building JacORB
Content
For further information, see the JacORB ProgrammingGuide.
Supported Platforms
JacORB should work under all supported Java platforms (See here). This release has been tested on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Prerequisites
Installation
- Recommended:
Download "Ant" (from http://ant.apache.org) and
install as described in its documentation (needed to build the
demos and if you want to rebuild JacORB.)
- Extend your search path to include the /bin subdirectory
of the installation directory so that the JacORB utilities can be
found.
- Edit jacorb.properties and copy them to your "home" directory.
Please use jacorb_properties.template as a template. Most options
need no configuration, but make sure you adjust at least the URL
strings for the services you plan to use (e.g. NameService and so
on) to match your domain's web server or local file system
structure. Please consult the ProgrammingGuide's section on
setting up the name server for details. The trader and the
implementation repository are located using the same mechanism. If
you don't need these services, just comment out the corresponding
line in the properties file.
Also, you can configure how much diagnostic information JacORB
emits by setting the jacorb.log.default.verbosity property. A value of 0
means no output, level 1 emits basic connection information,
and levels 2 and above are debug levels.
