Setup

Requirements

KiCsa requires :

  • a J2EE 1.2-compliant Web container, implying :
    • Servlet 2.2
    • JSP 1.1
  • a SQL 92-compliant RDBMS with a JDBC 2.0-compliant driver

Tested configurations are :

Platform Application server Web server Database
Native Java Server Driver
Windows 2000 Professional J2SE 1.3.1_01 J2EE RI 1.3.1

 

 Tomcat (embedded) MySQL 3.23 MySQL/J Connector 2.0.14
IBM J2SE 1.2.2 WAS 4.03 IHS x.y.z Oracle 8 Oracle Thin Driver
Windows XP J2SE 1.3.1_01 J2EE RI 1.3.1

 

 Tomcat (embedded) MySQL 3.23 MySQL/J Connector 2.0.14
J2SE 1.3.1_07 JBoss 3.2.0 Jetty (embedded) MySQL 4.1.0 MySQL/J Connector 3.0.7
Linux IBM J2SE 1.3 WAS 5.0 IHS x.y.z MySQL 3.23 MySQL/J Connector 2.0.14

Installation

  1. Download the KiCsa application EAR file from the Files page (choose the one suited to your application server).
  2. Run the DDL database schema creation script (Install/KiCsa_MySQL.ddl for instance) using your RDBMS administration tool (you may use a JDBC client tool like Squirrel or any other RDBMS-specific tool). Ensure that your database server is installed and running.
  3. Deploy the EAR file using your application server deployment tool (J2EE RI's deploytool, WAS administrative console, etc.)

Configuration

Requirements

Today KiCsa use various properties files to obtain values for its configurable parameters.
