Installing Java CAPS Components Using the Java CAPS Uploader

Use the Java CAPS Uploader to install additional Repository-based Java CAPS components. These components include all SAR files that were not installed using the Java CAPS Installer or the NetBeans IDE Update Center. The Uploader also enables you to download and extract ZIP files that are associated with or required for certain components.

The Enterprise Manager SVG Plugin for win32 is required when you use Internet Explorer and you want the Connectivity Map in Enterprise Manager to be able to zoom in and out. If you use Internet Explorer and do not install the SVG plugin, Enterprise Manager uses the JavaScript language to display the Connectivity Map instead of SVG and does not have zoom-in and zoom-out capabilities. The Enterprise Manager SVG Plugin for win32 is located under Auxiliary in the Java CAPS Uploader. Firefox has a built-in SVG and does not require the plugin.

To Install Java CAPS Components Using the Java CAPS Uploader

Before You Begin

This task assumes that you have installed the Repository using the Java CAPS Installer. The Java CAPS Uploader installs non-JBI based Java CAPS components that require a Repository.

1. Start the Repository by navigating to the directory where you installed Java CAPS and starting the appropriate executable file.
2. In a browser window, go to http://HostName:PortNumber, where:

   • HostName is the TCP/IP host name of the server where you installed the Repository and not the name of the Repository itself.

   • PortNumber is the port number that you specified during the installation of the Repository. The default port number is 15000.

3. On the Java CAPS Uploader login page, enter your username and password.

   ---

   Note - These are the passwords you entered when you installed Java CAPS. There are no default values for these passwords.

   ---

   The Java CAPS Uploader displays a list of components you have already installed.

4. To install additional Java CAPS components, select Click to Install Additional Products.
5. Under Select Java Composite Application Platform Suite Products to Install, expand a Product Name category such as Core Product or OTD.
6. Make your selections by selecting the box to the left of the component.

   ---

   Note - Several of the product names, such as eGate and eWay, are pre-Release 6 terms. To see their current equivalents, refer to Planning for Java CAPS Installation.

   ---

7. When you have selected all the components you want to install, click Next.
8. On the Selecting Files to Install page, browse to and select the appropriate SAR file, and then click Next.

   For information about the location of the SAR files, see Planning for Java CAPS Installation.

   ---

   Note - If you decide you do not want to upload a particular component, click Skip to move on to the next component. However, sometimes you cannot skip an upload due to dependencies.

   ---

9. Repeat the previous step until you have selected all the necessary SAR files.

   The Java CAPS Uploader uploads the selected components to the Repository.

10. To complete the installation, follow the steps under Installing Components Using the NetBeans IDE Update Center to install the new components to the NetBeans IDE.

To Download and Expand ZIP Files Using the Java CAPS Uploader

Some Java CAPS components are delivered as ZIP files. When you copy the Java CAPS executable file to your installation directory, these ZIP files become available under the Downloads tab in the Java CAPS Uploader. For some components, tools or sample files are also delivered in this manner.

Before You Begin

This task assumes that the Repository is running and that you have started the Java CAPS Uploader.

1. From the Java CAPS Uploader, click the Downloads tab.

   A list of components that are available to download from the Repository appear.

   ---

   Note - This example downloads the Command Line Codegen.

   ---

2. In the list of components to download, click a component to download and extract, such as CommandLineCodegen.
3. On the dialog box that appears, choose to save or open the file.
4. If you saved the file, open it in an extraction program, such as WinZip.
5. Extract all the files to a target directory.

   For example, you might extract the files to InstallDirectory\repository, where the InstallDirectory is the directory where you installed Java CAPS.
