Using Ant That Comes with Java WSDP on Linux

On Linux systems, even if you set your ANT_HOME and PATH environment variables to point to the version of Ant that is installed with the Java WSDP 1.5, when you run the Java WSDP's Ant scripts, your system will look in the /etc/ant.conf configuration file and execute the version of Ant that is configured there. In this case, the default entry is /usr/share/ant. If you want to use the version of ANT that is shipped with Java WSDP, comment out the line that configures Ant in the /etc/ant.conf configuration file and your ANT_HOME and PATH environment variable settings will be used.

Environment Variables

The JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to point to the version of the J2SE SDK you specify during installation. If you change your J2SE SDK installation, you will need to edit your <JWSDP_HOME>\jwsdp-shared\bin\setenv.bat batch file or <JWSDP_HOME>/jwsdp-shared/bin/setenv.sh and reset the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

All other custom system properties can be set in the file <JWSDP_HOME>/conf/jwsdp.properties as follows:

http.proxyHost=webcache 
http.proxyPort=8080

You can override any of the properties in your file <JWSDP_HOME>/conf/jwsdp.properties by using the -D... argument to any of the start scripts. For example,

Unix: catalina.sh -Dhttp.proxyHost=webcache -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

Microsoft Windows: catalina -Dhttp.proxyHost=webcache -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

J2SE Version Determines Which Version of JAXP Is Used

J2SE 5.0 includes JAXP v1.3. Java WSDP 1.5 includes JAXP 1.2.6_01. If you are running J2SE 5.0, JAXP 1.3 will be used. Java WSDP 1.5 will not replace that version of the JAXP technology with an older version. If you are running J2SE 1.4.2, JAXP version 1.2.6_01 will be used.

Uninstalling Java WSDP 1.5

At some point, you may need to uninstall Java WSDP 1.5:

• On Microsoft Windows, select Start --> Programs --> Java(TM) Web Services Developer Pack 1.5 --> Uninstall.
• On Solaris and Linux, run the <JWSDP_HOME>/uninstall.sh script.

If you ran one of the integration scripts after you installed the Java WSDP, you must rerun the script using the revert.<container>.changes target before you uninstall the Java WSDP.
