Installation Scenarios

The installation file you received contains everything you need to create both .NET and Java web applications. The distinction between the two is made when you start to build an application. There are two major parts to the product in the installation file: Studio (the development tool) and the Server Engine.

Studio is a Windows application that's installed on a Windows platform and the Server Engine is a set of files that's added to each Logi application and is processed by the web server. When you build an application, Studio adds the engine files to the application folder.

A typical installation scenario for developers who wish to create Logi applications for Java is to install Studio on a Windows development machine, equipped with the Oracle JDK or OpenJDK 8, 11, 12, 13, or 14 (Info v12.6 SP2+ required for version 11, 12, 13, and 14) and one of the approved web servers. In this way, development and testing can be done on a single non-production machine.

Oracle has changed its Java usage policies - see Java Usage Policy for important information.

However, for deployment to production, only the Server Engine files (and your application) need to be copied to the production web server, which can be a Linux/UNIX or Windows platform. This is discussed in more detail below.

32- or 64-bit?

Logi Info Java applications will run on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux/UNIX platforms.
