mPower Server (J2EE Platform): J2EE Installation and Configuration

mPower Server: J2EE Platform

Describes platform configuration and software installation for the mPower server on J2EE.

This document assumes you have a working knowledge of J2EE. Contact your NetSol representative for more information. Debug logging for the Web Service API (LinkIT) is now available with J2EE.

J2EE Installation and Configuration

Download J2EE SDK from the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) page (java.sun.com/j2ee/index.jsp, part of the Sun Developer Network) and follow Sun's instructions for installing the software.

Edit the server.policy file, by default located in /opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/config directory.

Find the grant section--that is, the section that begins grant {, with no additional text or data between the word grant and the left brace.

// Basic set of required permissions granted to all remaining code
grant {
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission  "loadLibrary.*";
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission  "queuePrintJob";
        permission java.net.SocketPermission    "*", "connect";
        permission java.io.FilePermission       "<<ALL FILES>>", "read,write,delete";

        // work-around for pointbase bug 4864405
        permission java.io.FilePermission "${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}${/}lib${/}databases${/}-", "delete";
        permission java.io.FilePermission "${java.io.tmpdir}${/}-", "delete";

        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write";

        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission  "getClassLoader";
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission  "createClassLoader";
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission  "modifyThreadGroup";

		permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks";
		permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control", "";
		
		permission javax.management.MBeanPermission "*", "*";
};

The above example includes all the required permissions for mPower to run on J2EE. If needed, make these changes to your file:

For the file beginning permission java.io.FilePermission, change to

permission java.io.FilePermission       "<<ALL FILES>>", "read,write,delete";

For the file beginning permission java.util.PropertyPermission, change to
```
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write";
```

Add the following two lines, anywhere before the end (};) of the section

			permission java.lang.RuntimePermission  "getClassLoader";
			permission java.lang.RuntimePermission  "createClassLoader";

After saving the edited file, restart the J2EE server to register the changes. To restart the server, use the following commands in sequence:

	/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin stop-domain
	/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-domain
