PrerequisitesAlthough this installation path is the fastest one, still you will need to install some software before installing ServiceMix. J2SE 1.5ServiceMix requires a Java 5 environment to run. Refer to http://java.sun.com for details on how to download and install J2SE 1.5. Download binariesDepending on the platform you plan to install and run Apache ServiceMix you will select the appropriate installation image. Open a Web browser and access the following URL, there you will find the available packages for download (binaries and source code). http://servicemix.apache.org/download.html Select the file compression format compatible with your system (zip, tar.gz) by clicking directly on the link, download it and expand the binary to your hard drive in a new directory; for example in z:\servicemix - from now on this directory will be referenced as <servicemix_home>. Please remember the restrictions concerning illegal characters in Java paths, e.g. !, % etc. The installation of Apache ServiceMix is as simple as uncompressing the .zip or .tar files. The next step is to start the server. |
