| = Installation |
| |
| To install OpenEJB, simply link:downloads.html[download the latest |
| binary] and unpack your zip or tar.gz into the directory where you want |
| OpenEJB to live. |
| |
| Windows users can download the zip and unpack it with the WinZip |
| program. |
| |
| Linux users can download the tar.gz and unpack it with the following |
| command: |
| |
| _tar xzvf openejb-3.0.tar.gz_ |
| |
| Congratulations, you've installed OpenEJB. |
| |
| If you've unpacked OpenEJB into the directory C:-3.0, for example, then |
| this directory is your OPENEJB_HOME directory. The OPENEJB_HOME |
| directory is referred to in various parts of the documentation, so it's |
| good to remember where it is. |
| |
| = Using OpenEJB |
| |
| Now all you need to do is move to the bin directory in OPENEJB_HOME, the |
| directory where OpenEJB was unpacked, and type: |
| |
| _openejb_ |
| |
| For Windows users, that looks like this: |
| |
| *C:-3.0> bin |
| |
| For UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X users, that looks like this: |
| |
| `[user@host openejb-3.0](user@host-openejb-3.0.html) # ./bin/openejb` |
| |
| You really only need to know two commands to use OpenEJB, |
| openejbx30:deploy-tool.html[deploy] and [start|OPENEJBx30:Startup] . |
| Both are completely documented and have examples. |
| |
| For help information and command options, try this: |
| |
| __________________________________________ |
| openejb deploy --help openejb start --help |
| __________________________________________ |
| |
| For examples on using the start command and options, try this: |
| |
| ________________________ |
| openejb start --examples |
| ________________________ |
| |
| That's it! |
| |
| If you don't have any EJBs or clients to run, try the ubiquitous |
| openejbx30:hello-world.html[Hello World] example. |
