Introduction

As very well described in the dedicated gCube developer guide section, SmartGears is a set of Java libraries that turn Servlet-based containers and applications into gCube resources in a transparent way.

In order to achieve the goal of Software-as-resource and Container-as-resource infrastructure administrators and site-managers have been equipped with a bundle for the installation and management of the software needed to :

• enable any servlet-based container as a resource on the infrastructure
• enable any application running on the container as a resource on the infrastructure.

Prerequisites

The following are prerequisite for the installation of a SmartGears gHN:

• J2SE 1.6 update 4 SDK or greater. Sun's reference implementation is recommended, but versions from IBM, HP, or BEA should work equally well.

• GNU tar to install gCore from archived distributions.

• An existing installation of one of the available Servlet Containers

The following are pre-requisites for the operation of gHN in any infrastructure:

• A static IP address and preferably a DNS name.
