Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) is the new name for the Java platform. But J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) is still widely used. In this document J2EE and Java EE are interchangeable.

• General
• Java 5 (JDK 1.5)
• IBM's Java

Server

• JOnAS
• WebLogic
• WebSphere
• jBoss
  

General

• JavaHelp may or may not show pages nicely on JDK 1.2 due to a JavaHelp bug. Workaround: resize the help window. The bug is fixed on JDK 1.3. Should that bug reoccur, please resize the help window.
• Running Super using Exceed (Unix windowing environment on MS-Windows) may crash Java on the server side. We found core dump when we used Exceed 7.0 with JDK 1.2 on both server and client sides. Now, when we use JDK 1.3.1 on both server side and client side, it seems okay. 
• The default database (HypersonicSQL) is for demonstration only.  

Java 5 (JDK 1.5)

Super (the client, not the server side) should run under JDK 1.4.x. If you want to use Java 5 (JDK 1.5.x) you need to:

• Manually recompile and redeploy SuperLoggingEJB. The jar file is under beanbox directory. The file name is <applicationVenderName>SuperLogging.jar. For example, weblogicSuperLogging.jar.
• Download xalan.jar from Apache and put it at the end of your CLASSPATH.
• Use Java 5 on both client side and server side.
  

Super (the client) will support JDK 1.5 when J2EE server vendors use it on the server side.

IBM's Java

Context sensitive help may not always work at the beginning. This happens when IBM's java is used (Websphere requires IBM's Java).

The version we checked is:

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2)
Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM Windows 32 build cn142sr1w-20041028 (JIT enabled: jitc))

Workaround:

1. Open any panel (window), press F1. You will see the index page. 
2. Click on any link on the page. 
3. Close the help window.
4. Now, context sensitive help will work.

JOnAS

JOnAS 4.3

There is an error when MBean notification is used as a trigger of SuperWatchdog. It seems a configuration related error. We hope the open source community will help. The error is:

RemoteException: Could not bind a listener proxy inJNDI:javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial

WebLogic

WebLogic 8.1

User credentials and administration port: If you explicitly set the Administration port for your cluster (the default configuration does not set this port), you need to log in not as an administrator. For example, a user from Monitors group will be okay. Also you need to use regular listening port, not the administration port on the Connect Panel. When you want to deploy or shutdown server, you need to specify user credentials on the panel in question. You also need to set SSL parameters on file setEnvironment.bat (Windows) or setEnvironment.sh (Unix) as part of the value of JAVA_OPTIONS. For example: -Dweblogic.security.TrustKeyStore=DemoTrust.

WebLogic 9.1

You may see error like:

<Mar 16, 2006 2:51:16 PM EST> <Error> <RMI> <BEA-080001> <Error in Dispatcher java.lang.AssertionError: Assertion violated.
java.lang.AssertionError: Assertion violated

We believe this is an Weblogic server issue. It looks harmless.

WebSphere

You can ignore the following message when you start Super:

Sep 29, 2005 10:16:10 AM SASRas
AUDIT: security.GettingConfig

EasyEJB and SuperStress

You may see bogus error messages like:

SEVERE: javaAccessorNotSet
Sep 29, 2005 8:35:25 AM com.ibm.ws.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory
SEVERE: javaAccessorNotSet

You can ignore them.

WebSphere 5

Super fully supports version is 5.0.2, not 5.0.

jBoss

jBoss 3.2.6 - 4.0.0

If you use configuration "all", you need to deploy ejb-management.jar:

Copy <jboss-home>\server\standard\deploy\management\ejb-management.jar to

         <jboss-home>\server\all\deploy

The following functions have not been implemented for this release:

• Deployment task/chore for SuperScheduler and SuperWatchdog.
• ServerShutdown task/chore for SuperScheduler and SuperWatchdog.

jBoss 4.0.1
