INSTALLING

     Considered here is minimal off-line variant for JSWDK server.

  1. Assure that examples of the JSWDK are running. It needs:
            %JAVA_HOME% variable
            %JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar file
  2. Unpack contents (SavZServer directory) of the savzs12.zip in one
     directory with the JSWDK (apparently in the root).
  3. Save old JSWDK files, webserver.xml and startserver.bat, for example
     in webserver.xml.sav and startserver.bat.sav
  4. Copy SavZServer/Web/*.* in the JSWDK home directory.

STARTING

  1. Start Web server, <JSWDK-1.0>/startserver.bat.
  2. Start Web browser and open http://localhost:8080/SavZServer/.

NOTES

     Debugging of the Z Server was most detail in Win98 for Microsoft
     Internet Explorer 5.0 and Netscape Navigator 4.7.
     Z database development tools, Sav Z DBMS, are available for
     download and free for Sav Z Server registered users.

INTERNATIONALIZATION

   * Java char encoding:  need correct script files (*.bat, ...) which
     starting Java,
     java -Dfile.encoding=<charset> ... . See documentation of JDK.
   * Java server's font: adapt font.properties file in <java>/lib.
   * Web browser's font: set encoding menu.
