Web Services API (mPower) Server

JEE: Web Services API Installation

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

JEE Installation and Configuration

To install, download JEE 1.8 SDK from the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 SDK Update 4 (with JDK 6u38) page (www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/java-ee-sdk-6u3-jdk-6u29-downloads-523388.html) and follow Oracle'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 JEE. If needed, make these changes to your file:

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

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

2. For the file beginning permission java.util.PropertyPermission, change to

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

3. 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 JEE 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

Web Services API Installation

To install the Web Services API software:

1. If needed, restart the JEE server to register changes to the server.policy file
2. mkdir -p /opt/msi/v77a/mpower-v77a
3. Copy the file mpower-v77a.war to any location on the server except /opt/msi/v77a/mpower-v77a
4. cd /opt/msi/v77a/mpower-v77a
5. $JAVA_HOME/bin/jar -xvf (path_to_war_file)/mpower-v77a.war
