Operating systems: Any eclipse-based platform, such as such as Websphere Workbench or WSAD, running on Windows NT or 2000.

Installation instructions for WSOM, Web Edition

1. Installation and configuration of the prerequisites:
   1. Make sure that a JDK is installed.
   2. Create an environment variable %JAVA_HOME% to point to the JDK home directory.
   3. Make sure that Jakarta Tomcat 3.2.4 is installed at C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4 in your computer.
   4. Create an environment variable %TOMCAT_HOME% to point to C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4.
2. Download and unzip WSOM, Web Edition, in a temporary directory. WSOM_Web.zip contains the following three directories:
   \lib, which contains the XML parser used by WSOM
   \wsom, which contains HTML, XML, DTD, and image files used by WSOM
   \com, which contains Java class files used by WSOM
3. Deploy the XML parser JAR file as follows.
   1. Create a directory (such as C:\lib) and place the xml4j_1_1_16.jar file in the directory.
   2. Create an environment variable %XML_PARSER_HOME% to point to C:\lib.
4. Deploy WSOM HTML, XML, DTD, and image files in Tomcat by copying the \wsom directory under the %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\ROOT directory.
5. Deploy WSOM class files in Tomcat by copying the \com directory under the %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes directory.
6. Update your %CLASSPATH% as follows:
   %CLASSPATH%=%CLASSPATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\lib;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar;%XML_PARSER_HOME\xml4j_1_1_16.jar

Installation instructions for WSOM on Eclipse platform

1. Download and unzip the wsom-v1.zip file, and extract WSOM_Eclipse.zip into the c:\wsom directory. To unzip into the some other directory, you must change system_config.xml. Change the path under SysConfigPath from c:\\wsom to d:\\hello or something you want. However, you must keep system_config.xml in the c:\wsom directory.
2. Start Websphere Workbench or any other Eclipse-based platform.
3. Create the new project as follows:
   1. Select File, New-Project.
   2. Select Java and Java Project.
   3. Name your project then click on Next.
4. Select the Libraries tab and Add External JARs from the download directory for the following JAR files:
   Swt.jar
   Wsom.jar
   Xml4j_1_1_16.jar
   Then click on Finish.
5. To make sure you set everything correctly, select your project and right-click to get to the properties. Select Java Build Path and click on the Library tab.
6. You should see your project in Java perspective. Expand the WSOM package, then the com.ibm.wsom package. At the top, you’ll see the BPOL.class. You need to add VM arguments, as follows:
   1. Right-click and select the properties.
   2. In the Execution Arguments panel, specify Djava.library.path=c:\wsom or your download directory, and click on OK.
7. Run your project and select Java Application as your launcher.
8. Once you see the WSOM logo, wait a little while. You’ll see the WSOM control panel, and the demo guide included in the download file will describe how to use it.

   Note: The detailed demonstration guides for WSOM Web Edition and WSOM Eclipse Edition are included in the downloadable package.
