2 Prerequisites

In order to install or use this extension, you will need a few Java application which you may already have:


2.1 Ant

JOTM-BTP uses Ant (version 1.5) for its build process.
Ant can be downloaded from http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/. See the documentation of Ant to set it up (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/).


2.2 Tomcat

Tomcat is the web container developed by Apache/Jakarta. JOTM-BTP uses Tomcat 4.1.x which can be downloaded from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/. See the documentation of Tomcat 4.1 to set it up (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/).
JOTM-BTP build process relies on the CATALINA_HOME environment property which has to be set to the directory where tomcat is installed:
$ export CATALINA_HOME=<path_to_tomcat_directory>


2.3 Axis

Axis is a project of Apache/XML which implements the SOAP (Simple Access Object Protocol). JOTM-BTP uses Axis 1.0 which can be downloaded from http://xml.apache.org/axis/releases.html. Once Axis package has been downloaded and unzipped, copy the webapps/axis/ directory into the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ directory. JOTM-BTP build process expects to find axis webapp in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ directory. If it doesn't, build process will fail.


2.4 JOTM
