4. install the kit |
Save
the .JAR files
Save the .JAR files to a directory called XMLTECH. If you are
testing XML with Compaq Secure Web Server, you should place the .JAR
files in a directory under HTDOCS (or equivalent).
For example:
[APACHE:HTDOCS:XMLTECH]
Save
and unpack the ZIP files
You can unpack the files to whatever directory you choose. Use of an
ODS-5 volume is not required, but will allow preservation of mixed-case
file names. Free zip utilities for OpenVMS include: GZIP,
INFO-ZIP, and
UNZIP.
Sample
files
The xml_examples.zip contains the sample files in two directories
(EX01 and EX02). You can extract the files to a SAMPLES directory,
under XMLTECH.
For
example: [APACHE:HTDOCS:XMLTECH:SAMPLES]
Documentation
files
All documentation is HTML, and is viewable from a PC
or OpenVMS browser. When unzipping the documentation archives, you
must preserve the directory structure of the archive to maintain internal
links and images. Extract the files to a DOCS directory, under XMLTECH.
For
example: [APACHE:HTDOCS:XMLTECH:DOCS]
Begin viewing
the documents by opening the readme.html file in the top-level directory
of each archive.
Test
the samples
When you are ready to test the sample files, you will need to copy the
.JAR files to the EX02 directory. Go to the Samples
page for more details of how to test XML.
