- Installable Products
Overview
The GUI based installer of the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition enables you to install and set up the Sun ONE suite of products. Built on top of the Java™ 2 SDK (Software Development Kit) framework, the installer provides a consistent look and feel across all Sun ONE software products.
Supported Platforms
Supported platforms for the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition software are:
Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 for SPARC
System Requirements
Before installing the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition software on the Solaris 8 or 9 platform, you must ensure that the minimum software and hardware requirements are available.
The following table contains a list of system requirements which your Solaris 8 and 9 system should meet.
Required Patches (for Solaris 8 only)
The following Solaris patches must be installed for Solaris 8 systems:
- 109326-06
- 108827-15
- 108434-03
- 108940-46
- 109147-14
These patches can also be retrieved from the patch finder page located at the following URL:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
Note Solaris 8 users should have the Sun recommended patch cluster installed.
The cluster includes the two required patches listed above.
This patch cluster is available at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/ under Recommended and Security Patches.
Also, you can find the Required Solaris 8 patches in the patches subdirectory on CD2 or the DVD.
Note
To locate and unpack the Solaris 8 patches:
- Get the patch distribution bundle for Solaris patches.
This is an archived file which could be quite large (up to 80 MB).
CD2/DVD includes a file called patches_sunone_sol8.tar.bz2 in the patches subdirectory.
- Unpack this bundle using the gunzip and tar utilities.
- Copy the patches_sunone_sol8.tar.gz file to your local read/write filesystem.
- Execute the following commands:
gunzip patches_sunone_sol8.tar.gz
tar xvf patches_sunone_sol8.tar
- Install the cluster by:
Changing directories into the patches subdirectory
Running the install_cluster script
This can take as little as fifteen minutes, or as much as over one hour, as the system installs all operating system and security patches to bring your Solaris 8 SPARC host up to date.
Some minor errors may be reported during the installation.
Some patches might not be installed because of these minor errors, either due to a newer patch already on your system, or to the specific patch to be applied has a known conflict with an existing patch that someone has installed already on your system. These minor error messages can usually be ignored.
Enter the following commands at the prompt:
cd patches_sunone_sol8
./install_cluster
- When the patch installation is complete, reboot the system using the following command:
reboot
If you need further information, these patches are available under the section Recommended and Security Patches at:
Once you have satisfied the system requirements and patch requirements (patches are for Solaris 8 only) described above, you are ready to install the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition software on the Solaris 8 or 9 platform.

Installable Products
Java™ 2 Software Development Kit (J2SE) 1.4.0_02
Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE™) software is the solution for rapidly developing and deploying mission-critical, enterprise applications. Version 1.4 builds upon Java technology's cross-platform support and robust security model with new features and functionality, enhanced performance and scalability, and improved reliability and serviceability. Version 1.4 advances rich client application development and provides the foundation for standards-based, interoperable Web services that can be built and deployed today!
In addition to new features, version 1.4 addresses key customer issues and is fully compatible with previous J2SE software releases.
Sun ONE Application Server 7, Standard Edition
The Sun ONE Application Server 7 provides a Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™ platform) 1.3 compatible platform for developing and delivering Java Web services, integrating an application development environment with the Sun ONE Studio 4. The Sun ONE Application Server delivers end-to-end high performance across a broad range of Web and enterprise application requirements.
The Sun ONE Application Server 7 is an new architecture based on the J2EE Reference Implementation, along with the Java™ Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP), both from Sun Microsystems.
Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 (for Solaris only)
The Sun ONE Portal Server can securely deliver all types of information and services to users on several different devices. Services can be Web applications and Web services, as well as access to non-Web resources such as accessing host systems directly.
Sun ONE Identity Server 5.1
The Sun ONE Identity Server (formerly iPlanet Directory Server Access Management Edition) is used by the Sun ONE Portal Server to enforce a user's access policy (the sum of their roles) and to enable Web-based single sign-on (SSO) to those services. It also consolidates user authentication, authorization, and management.
Sun ONE Identity Server Policy Agent 1.0 for Sun ONE Application Server 7.0
The Sun ONE Identity Server Policy Agents protect content on your Web servers and Proxy Servers from unauthorized intrusions. They control access to services and Web resources based on the policies configured by an administrator.
The Sun ONE Identity Server Policy Agents enable Application Servers to enforce authentication and authorization using Sun ONE Identity Server services, thereby securing client access to the hosted J2EE™ applications and enforcing J2EE security policies defined in the deployed application's Deployment Descriptors.
Sun ONE Studio 4 update 1, Enterprise Edition for Java™
Sun ONE Studio 4 update 1, Enterprise Edition for Java is the latest release in the Sun ONE Studio line of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for Java™ technology developers. Based on the NetBeans™ Tools Platform, Sun ONE Studio software provides the latest support for Java and Industry Standards in the development of enterprise class applications and Web services.
Sun ONE Portlet Builder 1.0
The Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition includes a Sun ONE Studio 4 plug-in tool for creating portal channels. The channels can be developed and tested within the Sun ONE Studio 4 development environment without even deploying the portlet on the Sun ONE Portal Server.

The Sun ONE Application Server Plugin provides seamless integration between the Sun ONE Application Server 7 and the Sun ONE Studio 4 products. This plugin provides extended functionality to the Sun ONE Studio 4 IDE which allows it to connect and communicate with the Sun ONE Application Server.
The plugin relies on a small number of administrative client JAR files that enable the plugin to communicate with the administrative server of the application server deployment. Once the plugin is installed and configured properly, the developer is able to register any number of either local or remote application server deployment environments in the IDE. The Sun ONE Application Server Plugin is automatically installed and configured as part of the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition installation.

The Sun ONE Application Framework (formerly JATO) helps ease the process of developing large-scale Web applications that are scalable, secure, and maintainable. It is a mature Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) Web application framework geared toward enterprise Web application development. The Sun ONE Application Framework unites familiar concepts such as display fields, application events, component hierarchies, and a page-centric development approach, with a state-of-the-art design based on the Model-View-Controller and Service-to-Workers patterns. It includes a collection of wizards for Sun ONE Studio, enabling developers to rapidly create scalable and robust Web applications, while leveraging all of the features and capabilities of the underlying framework technology.
Sun ONE Connector Builder 2.0
The Sun ONE Connector Builder is a software tool for building Web services-ready connectors to integrate J2EE™ and Web applications with enterprise systems and legacy applications. This tool is integrated with the Sun ONE Studio, Enterprise Edition for Java development environment.
