This CD contains early releases of HP Web Services Products, including 
the HP Web Services Platform and the HP Web Services Registry.

HP Web Services Platform is a suite of software components providing
APIs, tools, run-time components, and documentation for describing,
deploying, discovering, and invoking web services. The platform includes
HP SOAP, a SOAP 1.1 compliant server for hosting native web services and 
exposing Java and J2EE components as web services. Also it includes HP 
Service Composer, a GUI tool for service creation, editing, and aggregation.
  
HP's Web Services Registry 2.0 is a private UDDI (Universal Description,
Discovery and Integration) server. UDDI is a platform-independent, open
framework for describing services, discovering businesses, and integrating
business services using the Internet and/or Intranet. Enterprises can deploy
HP's Web Services Registry 2.0 to easily publish, find, and view businesses and
services in a private environment. It also includes Registry Composer, a UDDI
Registry browsing and editing tool.

[03] Installing HP Web Services Products
------------------------------------------------------------

Mounting and Un-Mounting CD’s
-----------------------------

The Web Services Products CD must be mounted correctly for the installation to
work. To ensure the CD is mounted properly for your platform, see the 
appropriate section below.

    MS Windows
    
        No special steps are required. The CD will be mounted
	automatically as it is inserted in the drive and unmounted when
	the drive is opened.
        

    HP-UX
    
	In order to mount or un-mount file systems on HP-UX, you must be
	logged in as a superuser.  If you receive a ‘device is busy’
	message while trying to un-mount or eject a CD, close any file-
	managers or terminals that are viewing the device.

	To mount a CD, type mount <file system> (e.g., $ mount /cdrom).

	To un-mount a CD, type umount <file system> (e.g., $ umount /cdrom).

	To eject a CD, press Open on the drive after un-mounting the CD.

    Linux
	
	Auto-mounting a CD
	
	Linux might automatically mount an inserted CD.  This can result
	in the CD being mounted without maintaining the case sensitivity
	of file and directory names.  If this occurs, un-mount the CD and
	then manually remount it using the mount options provided below.

	Manually Mounting a CD
	
	To manually mount a CD, type mount -o map=off <file system>
	(e.g., $ mount -o map=off /mnt/cdrom).

	Mount options:
	
	 -o map=off	This option allows you to mount CDs while 
	 	        maintaining the case sensitivity of file 
	 	        and directory names 
	 	        (e.g., mount -o map=off /mnt/cdrom).

	Un-Mounting a CD
	
	To un-mount a CD, type umount <file system> (e.g.,  $ umount
	/mnt/cdrom).

	Ejecting a CD
	
	To eject a CD press the Open button on the drive after un-
	mounting the CD or type 'eject <file system>' (e.g., $ eject
	/mnt/cdrom).
