Software Used For JSTK - J2EE Security for Servlets, EJBs and Web Services: Applying Theory and Standards to Practice

Software Used For JSTK

A Windows 2000 machine and J2SE SDK v1.4.x from Sun Microsystems, Inc. have been used as the primary environment for developing and testing JSTK. They have also been run on a Linux system with Sun's J2SE platform. Scripts to launch utilities for both Windows and Linux platforms are included. Windows scripts have .bat extension and Linux scripts have .sh extension. Though not tested, Linux scripts should work fine on most UNIX variants.

Throughout the book, I have use Windows syntax for pathnames, environment variables and scripts. Linux or UNIX equivalents are quite obvious and hence are not illustrated separately.

For developing examples, I have used the following software:

• Apache Tomcat 4.1.18 (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat) for Servlet Container.

• Apache Axis 1.1RC2 (http://ws.apache.org/axis) for Web services platform.

• BEA Weblogic 7.0 SP2 (http://www.bea.com) for EJBs.

• Apache Ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) for the build system.

• Verisign's TSIK 1.7 (http://www.xmltrustcenter.org) for XML Signature and XML Encryption.

• Infomosaic's SecureXML (http://www.infomosaic.net) for XML Signature.

More about these software products can be found in Appendix E: Products Used for Examples.

For running JSTK utilities, you don't need anything other than a plain J2SE v1.4.x installation.
