Before you deploy a Java Component, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Java Development Kit 7 (JDK)
You need to use the JAR utility included in the JDK to decompress and compress the Java Components archive. Java Components also require the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 included in the JDK. The Deployment Kits require the use of the local JVM and cannot differentiate multiple JVMs on the same machine. Therefore, you must install Deployment Kit with only one JVM.
An application server
Java Components run as a web application in the application server, such as Apache Tomcat or JBoss.
Administrators group privileges on Windows, or root privileges on Linux
Permission to start and stop the application server
A Java Virtual Machine and Web Server configured for the same application platform, either 32-bit or 64-bit
Java Development Kit 7 (JDK)
