Introduction

1. Overview of This Release

Red Hat Application Stack is a set of software components that have been tested and certified

to work together in an integrated fashion. Red Hat Application Stack is designed for dynamic

web applications for both the LAMP and Java platforms.

2. Installation Prerequisites

• Red Hat Application Stack V.1.1 has been tested and certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4

U4 systems. It is not certified for use with earlier versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Please

follow the separate instructions for installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 before installing Red

Hat Application Stack V.1.1.

• Red Hat Application Stack V.1.1 is available for 32- and 64-bit Intel architectures only (i386

and x86_64).

• Red Hat Application Stack V.1.1 includes JBoss AS 4.0.5, for running web applications in a

standard middleware environment. Note that JBoss AS uses an embedded Tomcat and does

not require a stand-alone Tomcat. Before installing and running JBoss AS you will require a

working installation of Java 1.4 or 1.5. Currently Red Hat Application Stack is certified with the

Sun JVM version 1.4.2 update 13 or later, 1.5.0 update 11 or later, and the latest BEA JVM

available through RHN. Please refer to Chapter 2, Configuring the Java Environment for

instructions on configuring the Java environment for JBoss AS.

• Red Hat Application Stack V.1.1 also includes JBoss EJB3 1.0.0-RC9, available as a

technology preview. You will need a working Java 1.5 installation in order to use this package.

3. Package-specific Notes

In most cases, Red Hat Application Stack contains more recent versions of packages than

those that are included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Installing Red Hat Application Stack may

update/overwrite these packages. Please ensure you review the complete package list before

beginning the installation process.

Chapter 1.

Configuring the Java Environment

JBoss AS relies on an installed JVM, such as those by Sun, or BEA. The BEA JVM is available

from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (AS/ES) Extras channel. The Sun SDK must be downloaded

directly from Sun (instructions below).

THIS RELEASE HAS BEEN CERTIFIED WITH THE SUN

AND BEA JVMS.

Currently Red Hat Application Stack is certified with the Sun JVM version 1.4.2

update 13 or later, 1.5.0 update 11 or later and the latest BEA JVM available

through RHN. This may change in future releases.

1. Install a supported SDK

1.1. Installing a 32-bit Sun SDK

1. Get the Sun JDK 5.0 from:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

by choosing the "JDK 5.0 Update N" "Download" button, and then choosing "RPM in

self-extracting file" for Linux on the page that displays after pressing the button.

Note

If you don't need/want to use the SysV service scripts you can also install the

"Linux self-extracting file" instead.

Important

Do NOT install the "Linux x64" version of the SDK.

If you prefer the older Java 1.4.2 SDK, get it from:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html [ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html]

by choosing the "Download J2SE SDK" link and from there the "RPM in self-extracting file"

Chapter 2.

for Linux.

Note

If you don't want/need to use the SysV service scripts you can also install the

"self-extracting file" for Linux instead.

2. Install java-1.4.2-sun-compat or java-1.5.0-sun-compat (optional)

This step is only necessary if you want to use the SysV service scripts, which we recommend

for production servers.

If you just plan on doing cd $JBOSS_HOME and ./run.sh, which should be done just for

development, you can skip this step and the next.

Download and install the appropriate -compat RPM from JPackage at:

ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/1.7/generic/RPMS.non-free/

Make sure to match the version of the -compat package to the SDK you've installed in the

first step. The -compat RPM requires that the RPM self-extracting file from Sun be used in

the previous step, not the plain (non-RPM) one.

For instance, for a Sun SDK 1.5.0_11 you should get:

ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/1.7/generic/RPMS.non-free/java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm

and for a Sun SDK 1.4.2_13 you should use:

ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/1.7/generic/RPMS.non-free/java-1.4.2-sun-compat-1.4.2.13-1jpp.i586.rpm

Note

If the -compat RPM for the latest Sun release is not yet available, contact

support or request an update in the mailing list.

For more details see http://jpackage.org/

3. Selecting alternatives for java,javac and java_sdk_VERSION (optional, where VERSION =

1.4.2 or 1.5.0 depending on what version java "java" and "javac" are being set to)

This is only needed if you performed the second step above and you want to use the SysV

service script and/or want this installed SDK to be the default java and javac in the system.

This choice can often be overridden by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
