|
|
Java Edition |
|
| |
Before starting WebORB for Java, make sure you have installed JRE (or JDK) 1.3 or later. You can download the latest version from
here. |
|
| |
The easiest way to start WebORB is to open a command prompt window, change to the directory where
WebORB installed and type the following command:
java -jar weborb.jar |
|
| |
The command will start WebORB on the default URL: http://localhost:8080/weborb. To start the product on an alternative URL, specify it as a command line argument:
java - jar weborb.jar http://localhost:9000/myweborbpath |
|
| |
The URL where WebORB is listening for the requests, is the
URL AJAX and Flash Remoting clients can use in the
object binding API. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
.NET Edition
If all the default values are accepted during the installation, WebORB
start page should be available at
http://localhost/weborb. Enter the URL in the browser and follow the links to run the examples and the
invocation test suite. With WebORB for .NET the URL for
the object binding API is
http://hostname/weborb/weborb.aspx, where 'hostname' is the network name of your computer and 'weborb' is the virtual directory where
WebORB for .NET is installed.
The invocation test suite comes with a database integration example. A sample MS Access database is included with the distribution. The database file is located in the main installation directory. By default the ASP.NET account, which executes system commands of the .NET code, does not have permissions to create temporary files in the virtual directory. As a result, the database example may not work out of the box. To change the permissions follow the directions listed in the post on our interest group. |
