Install the Java Development Kit
Install the latest version of the Java J2SDK on the Tomcat server. Download J2SDK for Tomcat from the Sun Microsystems Java Web site:
After you download the setup file, start the installation by launching it. The installation process is automatic; accept all the default settings and grant any authorization requests.
To verify the install, at the UNIX or DOS prompt, enter:
java -version
The system displays information about the current Java version. If you receive an error message, make sure your PATH environment variable is set correctly.
Set JAVA_HOME
Tomcat and the QAD UI Connection Manager require the JAVA_HOME variable. Set this with operating system commands or add it to system or user startup scripts.
In UNIX environments, enter:
export JAVA_HOME=/javapath
In Windows environments, enter in a DOS window:
set java_home=c:\javapath
The Tomcat installation configures the catalina.bat or catalina.sh file to automatically set the JAVA_HOME variable based on your input. Record the JAVA_HOME information; you will need to verify it in later steps.
