Part 1: Getting Started
The iPlanet Integration Tool is a GUI-based development tool that allows you to:
- Create J2EE web application modules (containing servlets and JSPs)
- Create entity and session EJBs (stateless/stateful and bean managed/container managed persistence)
- Package J2EE application components into modules
- Deploy the modules to one or more iPlanet Application Server instance
The iPlanet Integration tool integrates with Forte for Java Internet Edition Version 2.0.
Before You Begin
When you launch Forte for Java Internet Edition Version 2.0 using the runidew.exe on NT,
or runide.sh on Solaris, Forte may use a non-JDK 1.3.
If it locates JDK 1.2 it stops the examination and initiates the launch. However, in order for
Forte and the iPlanet Integration Tool to function properly you must use JDK 1.3.
If Forte was launched with JDK 1.2 you will encounter an error message stating that
"the JPDA debugging libraries are not installed." This indicates that Forte is using
JDK 1.2.
To eliminate this launch problem on NT:
- Locate the ide.cfg file located in <Forte_install_directory>/bin/.
- Edit the file to add the following line:
-jdkhome <jdk root>
where <jdk root> is the root directory of the JDK installation.
For example, C:\jdk1.3.
- Relaunch Forte for Java.
To verify that the iPlanet Integration Tool has been successfully installed:
- In the Explorer Runtime tab, locate the node
- From the Tools menu, select Global Options and locate the
node
- Additionally, from the Tools menu, select Global Options and select the Modules node
to locate the module
