________________
1.0 Installation
1.1 Procedure
When you have downloaded the Web Application Adaptor (WAA) as
a ZIP archive, unpack the archive in a temporary directory and start
the SETUP program.
If you have received WAA on CD-ROM, insert the CD in your CD-ROM
drive and start the SETUP program from the WAA1W32 directory.
Note for Xbase++ users: Select "Custom installation" (see 1.2 below)
The WAA development kit is installed by default on drive C: with
the following directory structure:
\ALASKA\WAA1W32
|---APACHE Apache HTTP server
| |---OS2 OS/2 version
| |---W32 Windows 9x and Windows NT version
|
|---BOOK WAA documentation
|
|---GATEWAY Gateway between the HTTP server and WAA
| |---OS2 OS/2 version
| |---W32 Windows 9x and Windows NT version
| |---ISAPI Gateway for MS Internet Information Server
|
|---SAMPLES Example applications
|
|---SERVER Web Application Adaptor (WAA)
(and Xbase++ runtime, when installed)
When the installation program has finished, the file WAA1SRV.EXE
is located in the ..\SERVER directory. This file is the WAA server
and it needs a connection to your HTTP server. The connection is
provided by a gateway which is available for both OS/2 and Windows
platforms. How to install and configure the gateway depends on
the HTTP server you are using.
Please refer to the online documentation for further configuration
steps.
1.2 You have Xbase++ installed
Select "Custom Installation" and unselect the checkbox for the Xbase++
runtime libraries. It is not recommended to install the Xbase++ runtime
environment twice.
1.3 You do not have Xbase++ installed
The setup program of the Alaska WAA does not change any environment
variable nor will any component of the system be replaced.
If you install the Xbase++ runtime files they will reside in the
SERVER directory. The package contains only those Xbase++ runtime
files needed by the WAA.
1.4 What's new in this version ?
WAA 1.31
--------
Session management is fixed.
Under very special circumstances, the session management of WAA 1.30
showed an erroneous behavior. Session data of a client A stored via
oContext:setCargo() sometimes becomes visible to a client B. This
imposes a data security risk for Web applications and, as a
consequence, the session management is completely revised. If you
have deployed Web applications using persistent sessions, we recommend
to delete the following files of your WAA installation after
updating to version 1.31:
..\WAA1W32\SERVER\WAA1SRV.DBF
..\WAA1W32\SERVER\WAA1SRV.FPT
..\WAA1W32\SERVER\WAA1SRV.CDX
If missing, these files are automatically created by WAA1SRV.EXE when
oContext:openSession() is called.
WAA 1.30
--------
Most of the common HTTP servers are supported by WAA version 1.3.
New features of WAA allow for maintaining a persistent session
via the Internet, the definition of user-defined HTML classes and
other details such as displaying framesets or sending e-mail from
a Web application. Please refer to the chapter "Read me first" in
the WAA online help for a full explanation.
