Q12: Are there component interdependencies that I need to know about?

Answer: The Java ES installer checks component dependencies for the components you select. If your selected components require additional components, the installer automatically selects the additional components. To understand how this works, refer to the information in Component Dependencies in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Planning Guide. Table 3-1 shows the interdependency matrix. To satisfy interdependencies, installation sessions must be run in a particular order, with some components being installed, configured, and started before other components are installed. You might be able to model your deployment on suggested installation sequences. See Chapter 2, Example Installation Sequences, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 Installation Guide for UNIX.

After installation, follow the preferred startup sequence for Java ES components. Refer to Table 7–1 in Verifying After Postinstallation Configuration in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 Installation Guide for UNIX.
