Installing the DSJ Server

To get DSJ up and running, you should:

  1. Install the DSJ server.
  2. Add a Java application, if desired. To make testing easier, JBuilderÆs Welcome application is pre-loaded into DSJ when installed.
  3. Install the DSJ client and verify that the DSJ server is working.

You may install the server and client on the same machine. This is primarily for testing, but the client can be configured to access servers on other machines.

Installation requirements

DSJ uses TCP/IP for communication. To install the DSJ server, you need 13 MB of free disk space (and an additional 6 MB during the installation). If you are installing the DSJ client on the same machine, most of the files it needs are also installed for the server; there are approximately 100 KB of files unique to the DSJ client.

Installing the server files

Run DSJ setup and follow the onscreen instructions to install the server. If you are installing both the client and the server to the same directory, you can save a step by using them both at the same time.

The following server files are installed in the target directory:

File Description

dsjserver.bat Batch file to start the DSJ server
dsjserver1.0.jar File that contains the DSJ server classes
jbcl.zip JBCL runtime classes used by the DSJ server
swingall.jar Swing (JFC) runtime classes used by the DSJ server
jgl3.1.0.jar JGL classes used by the DSJ server
dsj.defaults Default DSJ settings
dsj.properties Current DSJ settings
JavaComp.dll Just-In-Time Java compiler

The following subdirectories are also created in the target directory:

Directory Contains

applications .app files, which describe the available applications
db Internal DSJ database
dsjdoc DSJ documentation
java JRE (Java Runtime Environment) used by the DSJ server
servers Files used by the DSJ server manager
users Files used by the DSJ user manager
