Overview of Installation

Before beginning the installation, read Planning for GlassFish ESB Installation, which contains important information such as supported platforms, operating system limitations, parameter definitions, and so on. This information is necessary for you to complete a successful installation of GlassFish ESB.

Complete Graphical User Interface InstallationThe following software is installed:

Note –

IDE is an acronym for an integrated development environment. It consists of a number of components, such as a compiler, source code editor, build tools, debugger, browser, object inspector, class hierarchy diagram, and so on. These components can be used when performing object-oriented software development. The integrated tools can also be used to build a graphical user interface (GUI).

Important Installation Notes

Installing the JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME

If you do not already have the JDK software installed or if JAVA_HOME is not set, the GlassFish ESB installation will not be successful. The following tasks provide the information you need to install the JDK software and set JAVA_HOME on UNIX or Windows systems.

To find out which JDK versions are supported for the platform you are using, see JDK and JAVA_HOME in Planning for GlassFish ESB Installation.

Caution – Caution –

The GlassFish ESB Installer does not support JDK release 1.6.0_04 in the 64–bit version on the Solaris SPARC or AMD 64–bit environments.

ProcedureTo Install the JDK Software and Set JAVA_HOME on a UNIX System

  1. Install the JDK software.

    1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

    2. Select the appropriate JDK version and click Download.

      The JDK software is installed on your computer, for example, at /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_02. You can change this location.

  2. Set JAVA_HOME.

    • Korn and bash shells:

      export JAVA_HOME=jdk-install-dir

      export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

    • Bourne shell:

      JAVA_HOME=jdk-install-dir

      export JAVA_HOME

      PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

      export PATH

      setenv JAVA_HOME jdk-install-dir

      setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

      export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

  3. Change the permissions to enable you to run the GlassFish ESB Installer.

    chmod 755 JavaCAPS.bin

ProcedureTo Install the JDK Software and Set JAVA_HOME on a Windows System

  1. Install the JDK software.

    1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

    2. Select the appropriate JDK software and click Download.

      The JDK software is installed on your computer, for example, at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02. You can move the JDK software to another location if desired.

  2. To set JAVA_HOME:

    1. Right click My Computer and select Properties.

    2. On the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables, and then edit JAVA_HOME to point to where the JDK software is located, for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02.

Installing GlassFish ESB Using the GlassFish ESB Installer

ProcedureTo Install GlassFish ESB Components Using the GlassFish ESB Installer

Before You Begin

When installing GlassFish ESB on UNIX systems, such as Solaris machines, you need to set the DISPLAY variable to install in GUI mode. How you do this depends on how you connect to your system.

Do not use telnet if you install on a Windows system.

  1. Download the installation executable file for your platform from https://open-esb.dev.java.net/Downloads.html.

  2. Extract the installer file for your platform to a temporary directory.

  3. Exit from all programs prior to beginning the installation.

    You can cancel the installation at any time during the process.

  4. To start the installation, initiate the appropriate executable file:

    • For Linux or Solaris, change the execution mode with the command chmod a+x [installer_file].sh, then start the installation with the command ./[installer_file].sh.

    • For Macintosh, place the [installer_file].tgz under $HOME/Desktop, double—click the [installer_file].tgz from the Desktop, and double-click the extracted file [installer_file].command from the Desktop.

    • For Windows, double-click the file [installer_file].exe

  5. When the GlassFish ESB Installer wizard appears, click Next on the Introduction page to begin the installation.
