JaxView Installation on Unix

JaxView is built to have a very easy installation procedure. There are 2 components to installing JaxView. The first component is the JaxView management server. The second component is the stub that needs to be installed for each Web service within all containers. Although the stub needs to be installed for each Web service all of the messages from the stubs on each container will be treated the same.

For upgrades please read here.

The JaxView Installation Package

The installation package (JaxViewSetup.zip) includes multiple files. Here is the list of those files and what they are user for

Starting the Management Server -

To start the management server run the file ./startJV from the JaxView directory. You can access the management server by going to http://localhost:9090//Hubble/servlet/LoginServlet

Clicking on ./startJV starts 2 java processes. One is Tomcat server the other is a process that watches the tomcat server in case it shuts down. It will restart the tomcat server in case of a shutdown. The Process ID (pid) of these two processes is located in JaxView/tomcat/bin/pid and JaxView/tomcat/bin/mon_pid files.

Note: JaxView requires the JDK 1.4 or above to be installed on the Unix machine and also for the JAVA_HOME path to be set.

Installing the Agent Stub on the Web service Container

Depending on which container you are using read the different installation instructions.
