It is possible to minimize a deployment of EditLive! for Java which can be especially useful when deploying EditLive! for Java to Web servers with a limited amount of disk space available.
All the files required to deploy EditLive! for Java to a Web server are included in the INSTALL_HOME/webfolder/redistributables directory of your EditLive! for Java install where INSTALL_HOME is the directory to which the EditLive! for Java SDK has been installed.
The redistributables directory contains three sets of files:
Note: When using EditLive! for Java with ASP .NET or J2EE the server control or tag library respectively must also be present on your Web server.
In the redistributables/dictionaries it is possible to remove all the dictionaries apart from those being used with your implementation of EditLive! for Java. The dictionary to be used with an instance of EditLive! for Java is specified within the EditLive! for Java configuration XML in the <spellCheck> element.
The end user help files provided in the .../redistributables/enduserhelp directory are not linked to directly from EditLive! for Java so these may be removed from the deployment of EditLive! for Java if they are not being referenced at any time in the relevant implementation.
In the .../redistributables directory it is possible to remove the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installer and instead force users to download the installer from Sun Microsystems. When deploying the JRE in this manner it must be ensured that clients have access to the Internet to download the installer. It should also be ensured that clients have the relevant access permissions to install the JRE on their machines.
In order to force users to download the JRE from Sun Microsystems the LocalDeployment property of your SDK must be set to false when instantiating EditLive! for Java.
In order to minimize the install of EditLive! for Java the developer can remove various files from the redistributables directory and its subdirectories. When removing files from this directory the developer should take care to ensure that the files are not in use in their deployment of EditLive! for Java.
