    If the installer finds a suitable JDK in your system, this page does not appear.


    This screen capture shows the Java Platform page where you can choose either to use an existing copy of the J2SE SDK (version 1.4.0_02), or you can install a copy.

  12. To locate an existing copy of the J2SE SDK (version 1.4.0_02), click Browse.

  13. Click Next to continue.

    14. The Select Installation Directory page appears.


    This screen capture shows the Select Installation directory page for selecting the directory where you want to install the software.

  14. Accept the default location to install the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition software, or click Browse to select a directory.

    15. Depending upon the speed of your computer system, this process can take a few moments.

    By default, the Sun ONE Studio and the Sun ONE servers are placed each in its own default installation directory.

    Only content that is unique to the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition is placed in the default installation directory (for example, documentation and scripts).

    • If the default is accepted (C:\Sun\WebServicesPlatform), the products are installed in their default locations as follows:

      • C:\Sun\WebServicesPlatform\
      C:\Sun\AppServer7
      C:\Program Files\Sun\Connector Builder
      C:\Sun\IdentityServer
      C:\Program Files\studio\ee
      C:\Sun\ASPolicyAgent

    • If the installation directory is changed from the default, everything is placed within the user specified installation directory.


      • Note

      It is best to limit the length of the install location to be similar to that of the default install location (C:\Sun\WebServicesPlatform). When the install location is long, samples (for example, Dining Guide) might throw a com.iplanet.ias.util.zip.ZipFileException.

      This happens when the absolute pathname of generated Web services class files exceed 255 characters (Windows limitation).

    • If the default is not accepted:

      • If the user input is d:\<install_dir>,
      s1dp-root : d:\install_dir\WebServicesPlatform :

      d:\<install_dir>\WebServicesPlatform\AppServer7
      d:\<install_dir>\WebServicesPlatform\Connector Builder
      d:\<install_dir>\WebServicesPlatform\IdentityServer
      d:\<install_dir>\WebServicesPlatform\studio\ee
      d:\<install_dir>\WebServicesPlatform\ASPolicyAgent

    • If this is a reinstallation of the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition, the installer defaults to the directory from the previous installation.

  15. Click Next.

  18. After you have made your selections, click Next.

    19. The Server Settings page appears.


    Note

    The Server Settings page does not appear if you selected only the Sun ONE Studio 4 update 1, Enterprise Edition for Java from the Select Components page in Step 16 above.


    This screen capture shows the Server Settings page with fields in which you enter the machine name, the server admin password, a confirmation of the password, the domain name, and the IP address.

    • Retype Password

      • Enter the admin server password again to confirm.

    • Domain Name

      • Accept the default, or enter a valid DNS domain name.

      This should match your primary DNS suffix as mentioned in the first step of Running the Installation Program.

    • IP Address

      • Accept the default.

  20. Click Next.

    21. The Checking System Status page appears.


    This screen capture shows the Checking System Status page that verifies available disk space, installed memory, operating system updates, and previous server installations.

    The installation program verifies available disk space, installed memory (RAM), and operating system updates.

    To prevent installation failure, the installation program also checks for any previous installation of the selected products that were not installed by the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition installer.

    • In the event the RAM check detects that available RAM is less than the minimum value suggested, the message Less Than Recommended is shown in the system check panel

      • The installation can continue, but there can be performance issues, depending on the number of products selected for installation.

    • If the system check fails in terms of Disk Space or Operating System Updates, the system is not ready for installation, and the Next button is disabled.

      • In this case, click View Report to see the details of any problems.


      Note

      When using an unsupported operating system, a warning appears.

      You are allowed to continue the installation, but a successful installation of the product is not guaranteed.
