Internet Intranet Input Method Framework

The Internet Intranet Input Method Framework (IIIMF) is another IM Framework in Oracle Solaris 11, which has been supported since Solaris 9. IIIMF runs per user instead of as a shared system-wide process. The configuration tool for the IIIM is the Input Method Preference Editor (iiim-properties). To access the tool, choose System→Preferences→ Input Method - IIIM.

IIIMF has two very powerful Japanese language engines, ATOK and Wnn. The following procedure describes how to use the ATOK or Wnn language engines with IIIMF.

How to Use the ATOK and Wnn Language Engines With IIIMF

1. Install the following packages by using the Package Manager GUI or the pkg command:

   • IIIMF core package: system/input-method/iiim

   • ATOK package: system/input-method/iiim/atok

   • Wnn package: system/input-method/iiim/wnn

   To list the IIIMF Language Engines available for installation, run the following command:

   $ pkg list -a system/input-method/iiim/*

2. Select IIIMF in your desktop session using the Input Method Framework Selector.

   IIIMF will be used for your desktop session at the next login. (The desktop session needs to be restarted.)

3. If you are using the Wnn language engine is used,
   1. Invoke the jserver and dpkeyserv servers by issuing the following command. (Service Management privilege needed.)

      # svcadm enable wnn8/server

   2. Select the Wnn IM Language Engine in the Input Method Preference Editor (iiim-properties) tool.
