Thread view:

Hi guys!

My question is wery simple but wery complex. I am not a programmer, but
I have to create a Local Java server. I have the J2EE platform, and a
WAR file. I wold wery wery happy if somebody could help me in
configuring my local server. Tho problem is that I only know a few
things about the tecnology.

Somebody please help me with details!
Thanks,

Kudee

Whoa. Take a step backwards first. What do you mean "local Java server"?
This system you're making - what will it be doing? What are the
requirements of it?
If you're not a programmer, and don't have much experience of Java,
diving into J2EE is asking for a headache!

OK , I knew that it wont be easy, but I have no choice.
It will be a server for Advanced Device Management, this is server
that configures your compatible mobile device. Just like when you ask
for  MMS settings , and your mobile operator sends it on your device
via sms. This server will send a connection  request to the mobile
phone after introducing the tel. number , and after accepting it , you
can configure the device from the server, without doing anything on the
phon itself. So, I recevide a War file, and I think this is the server
application. But after spending two days with searching the net for
some details, I found nothing.. That is why i thought somebody from
this group could help me.

Well, you already seem to have the application (war-file). This is an
application format that is supposed to run in a web-container. It
probably also means that the application does not utilize a full stack
of j2ee-technologies (ie no ejb's), which makes things a little easier.

Now, you need an application server with a web-container to run the
application. If you don't already have one, I'd recommend Tomcat, which
is the most widely used one. Chances are your app already has been
tested on Tomcat and will run without problems. Download from
tomcat.apache.org if you don't have it already (or you intend to run the
app at a web-hotel with java support)

It is quite likely that the application needs a database to store data.
Part of installing the application in the application server (a process
called deployment), would then be to configure the database (create
tables etc.). Some web-applications does this by themselves, as soon as
they're given connection data (database host,username,password etc.),
others require you to do this manually or by running supplied sql scripts.

Finally it seems your application will need some sort of gateway to a
phone system. Setting up the connection here will likely require some
configuration steps, just like setting up the database. Exactly what
this involves is impossible to say...

I have no idea where you've gotten your application, but specific
instructions on how to install, configure and run should be available at
the same source. Also, war-files are basically zip-archives with a
specific file-structure inside. You can try to unzip and look for files
like *.xml and *.properties that may hold configuration data. Also maybe
(hopefully) you'll find some documentation inside the archive, look for
*.html, README, *.pdf etc.

A typical case of RTFM...
Buddy, if you're not a programmer but just a lazzzy man, there's a good
thing you can do without further stress: hire a smart sysadmin and get
it done!
Otherwise you MUST study and get experienced: Sun distributes a nice
tutorial with in-bundle examples [1].
