6.6 ServletExec/AS Operation

This section provides instructions for starting and stopping ServletExec/AS, for

configuring a ServletExec/AS instance to run on a remote machine from the web server,

and for configuring multiple ServletExec/AS instances for a web server.

6.6.1 Starting ServletExec/AS

A ServletExec/AS instance is a standalone Java application that communicates with the

web server (through the ServletExec/AS web server adapter) using network sockets. You

start a ServletExec/AS instance using the

java command on the command line. In

addition to java command arguments, ServletExec/AS accepts several required and

optional arguments. You can also start a ServletExec/AS instance using the

StartServletExec script. The following sections describe both methods.

6.6.1.1 StartServletExec

The StartServletExec script is provided for your convenience in starting the

ServletExec/AS instance. StartServletExec includes defaults for all of the java and

ServletExec/AS command line arguments. You can edit StartServletExec to modify

these command line arguments. The next section features a complete list of

ServletExec/AS command line arguments.

6.6.1.2 Using the java Command

We recommend that you use the StartServletExec script to start a ServletExec/AS

instance. However, it is possible to start a ServletExec/AS instance from the command

line using the java command. The information in this section can also help you edit the

StartServletExec script to modify the startup parameters for a ServletExec/AS

instance.

To start a ServletExec/AS instance using the java command

• From the command line, type the following:

java [java arguments] ServletExec [ServletExec/AS arguments]

Important

The java command arguments must include the –classpath option specifying the

path to the

ServletExec41.jar, servlet.jar, crimson.jar, jaxp.jar, and

jndi.jar archives.
