Setting up the Sun JavaCAPS UDDI Server on Ubuntu

This document details how to setup the Sun JavaCAPS UDDI Server on Ubuntu.

• Download the Linux (Intel x86) version of the JavaCAPS Applications ISO - in this case it was named java-caps-5_1_3-linux_x86.iso.  For those of you who are JavaCAPS literate - this is the disk that contains the Enterprise Manager, logical host, and UDDI Server/Repository.  Note: at the present time [version 5.1.3] of JavaCAPS is not freely available for download.  In the near future this (along with all Sun products) will change.  I do not have insight as to the time frame and/or if the UDDI Server will be broken out from the JavaCAPS application itself.  
• Open java-caps-5_1_3-linux_x86.iso (the file downloaded above) and extract the stcuddi-Linux_x86.sar to a temporary directory.
• Open the stcuddi-Linux_x86.sar and extract its contents to another temporary directory.  For example, I called mine UDDItmp.
• Unbundle the stcuddi-Linux_x86.tar.gx.  This will create a UDDIInstaller directory
• Open a shell and go to the UDDIInstaller directory and execute the install.sh script

For the following steps, you have considerable flexibility.  I will document my settings for you...

• When prompted, enter the desired installation location for the UDDI Server.  In my case it was /home/kkranz/apps/UDDI
• For the name of the UDDI Server enter: CAPSUDDI
• Enter 8190 for the port number.  This will translate to the range 8190-8199, so be sure that range is open.
• For the user name enter Administrator
• For the password: adminadmin
• Verify the password.

The script will then install the UDDI Server.  If successful, you should get a:
        UDDI Server installed successfully.
        Please start the UDDI Server.

To verify the install:

• Start the UDDI Server (eg: cd~/apps/UDDI; startserver.sh)
• Point your browser to: http://localhost:8190/CAPSUDDI/
• To publish WSDLs to the repository, point your browser to: http://localhost:8190/UDDIReg

Finally, to complete the installation process, you should create the appropriate rc.init start and stop scripts.
