Using servlets in SOCS


If you are in the University of Birmingham, School of Computer Science, just add the following line to your '.login' file to use the JSDK 2.0 API to develop servlets :-

source /home/telematics/software/setup/jsdk2.0


RECCOMENDED VERSION : For a more sophisticated setup with support for web pages as well as servlets, use JSDK 2.1, by putting the following into your .login file. :-

setup java/JSDK
setenv PATH /bham/java/packages/jsdk-2.1/:$PATH


If you wish to use Apache Tomcat, the add the following :-

setup java/J2EE setup java/Tomcat

Please note : These three alternatives are mutually exclusive, do not try to use them together.
