Setting up JOnAS environment

We assume that your JDK is already installed and configured. If this is not the case, refer to the section called Java^TM2 Software Development Kit in the chapter called Getting and installing the software.

Once you have installed your JOnAS distribution, you have to setup the JONAS_ROOT environment variable prior to use JOnAS or any of its tools. You will also have to update your PATH as well.

Here are examples to set your environment for Unix and Windows platforms:

• Unix platforms: Assuming that you installed JOnAS in the /usr/local/objectweb directory, you should perform the following commands:

  bash>export JONAS_ROOT=/usr/local/objectweb bash>export PATH=${PATH}:${JONAS_ROOT}/bin/unix

  or

  tcsh>setenv JONAS_ROOT /usr/local/objectweb tcsh>setenv PATH ${PATH}:${JONAS_ROOT}/bin/unix

• Windows platforms: Assuming that you installed the JOnAS in the C:\objectweb directory, you should perform the following commands:

  C:>set JONAS_ROOT=C:\objectweb C:>set PATH=%PATH%;%JONAS_ROOT%\bin\nt

  Note that if you want to set this variable permanently, use the method described in the section called Setting up your Java environment in the chapter called Configuring your environment according to your Windows version.
