System Requirements
The minimum machine configuration to do JDesignerPro development includes:
- Windows Hardware: Pentium 166 CPU, with 256K cache. 80+MB RAM.
Software: (1) Windows NT 4.0 or later. (2) Sun Microsystems JDK. See the JDesignerPro download page for current information about the correct JDK to use. The JDK isavailable free from BulletProof's download page at http://www.bulletproof.com. (3) ODBC 2.5 or later with MS-Access driver - available free from BulletProofs download page. The ODBC drivers with MS-Access are only necessary if you choose to install the JDesignerPro system files in the tables included with JDesignerPro. Otherwise you may choose Custom install and install all tables into your own JDBC or ODBC compatible database.- UNIX Hardware: Sun SPARC Five or Creator 3D or equivalent. 80+MB RAM.
Software: Latest version of Solaris, AIX, HP/UX. Any JDBC-compatible database, JDK as listed on BulletProof's download page.- Other Platforms: JDesignerPro will run on any platform that has a 1.1 compatible JDK, a database and a fully implemented JDBC driver for the database. For specifics contact BulletProof.
Deployment Server Requirements
In addition to the development system requirements, these things must be installed on the sever from which your JDesignerPro-built application(s) will be deployed:
- A webserver such as any of the Netscape ONE line of servers, Microsoft IIS or other robust HTTP server.
- A database installed with the appropriate JDBC or ODBC drivers installed for that database, obtained from your database vendor. Recommended databases include Oracle, Sybase, Informix, SQL Server, DB/2 or other enterprise database.
- The client requires only a network connection and a Java compatible browser including Netscape Navigator, Communicator, MS-Internet Explorer. Network Computers like the Sun JavaStation, IBM NC, Oracle NC that run the JavaOS or Java browser are also compatible. A good minimum for the Memory Cache is 4MB and the Disk Cache is 20MB.
- The user of this computer simply enters a URL to the JDesignerPro system in the browser.
