Webtop Requirements
(252 total words in this text)
(1242 Reads) 
The basic requirements for running the Webtop are:
- Java Runtime Environment 1.3+
- Relational Database
- Web server
- Java servlet engine
- X Server (if the Webtop is running in a unix environment)
Java Runtime Environment 1.3+
Java is the programming language that the Webtop was written in. As such, a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is needed to execute the Webtop.
This is a free download available on Sun’s Java website at http://java.sun.com/.
Relational Database
At the time of this writing, only two databases have been tested with the Webtop: MySQL and Oracle 8i. Hence, there are two SQL scripts that are
bundled with the Webtop for each database: mysql-install.sql and oracle-install.sql. These files are located in the “/sql” directory in the
Webtop installation directory. Other databases could be used with the Webtop given a correct SQL installation script and JDBC driver.
Web server
The Webtop has an embedded web server so that no additional software needs to be installed to use the Webtop - however, an external
web server (such as Apache or IIS) can be used if desired.
Java servlet engine
The servlet engine is the "application engine" in which the Webtop runs. The Webtop has an embedded servlet engine so that no additional software
needs to be installed to use the Webtop - however, an external servlet engine (such as Tomcat or Resin) can be used if desired.
X Server
The webtop utilizes server-side dynamic, graphics generation which requires an X Server in a unix environment. This is not required if the
Webotp is running on a Windows server.
