Deploying to Sun Java™ System Application Server Platform Edition 9.1

This topic introduces how to deploy Logi JReport Server to Sun Java™ System Application Server Platform Edition. The example directory paths listed below are based on Windows. The instructions are applicable to both Unix and Windows installations; however, the format of the paths for Unix would use the Unix format, that is, /opt/JReport/Server instead of C:\JReport\Server.

It is assumed that:

• Sun Java™ System Application Server Platform Edition 9.1 is installed in the C:\Sun\AppServer directory.
• It is assumed that the Logi JReport Server WAR file jreport.war is located in the C:\JReport\Server\bin\distribute directory. To create the WAR file refer to the instructions in Building a WAR/EAR File to Include a Self-contained Logi JReport Server.

To deploy Logi JReport Server to Sun Java™ System Application Server Platform Edition 9.1:

1. Update Sun Application Server's Derby jars using the lib folder in C:\JReport\Server\derby to replace the lib folder in C:\Sun\AppServer\javadb\lib.
2. Start the Sun Application Server by selecting Start > Programs > Sun Microsystems > Application Server PE > Start Default Server.
3. Launch the Admin Console by selecting Start > Programs > Sun Microsystems > Application Server PE > Admin Console.
4. In the left console tree, expand the Applications node, then select Web Applications.
5. In the Web Applications page, select Deploy.
6. Select the radio button before Local packaged file or directory that is accessible from the Application Server, then select Browse Files to select the WAR file jreport.war.
7. Use the default settings and select OK. You will find a new application jreport is listed.
8. Access Logi JReport Server using the following URLs:

   http://<hostname>:8080/jreport/jrserver
http://<hostname>:8080/jreport/jinfonet/index.jsp
