| 1 | These are the steps used to set up a WebObjects deployment environment on Ubuntu 22.04 with Java 17. It does not install WebObjects or any frameworks because it is assumed they are bundled with any apps you deploy. Change the environment variables in the first step if you want different install location or different user that will run the WebObjects applications. Regardless, you will have to at least change SERVER_NAME and SERVER_IP which are only examples and ones you would never use in practice. | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | == Set environment variables for your configuration to be used in following scripts == | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | For example | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | {{code}} | ||
| 8 | export SERVER_NAME=woserver.example.com | ||
| 9 | export SERVER_IP=172.5.4.3 | ||
| 10 | export WEBOBJECTS_GROUP=webobjects | ||
| 11 | export WEBOBJECTS_USER=webobjects | ||
| 12 | export NEXT_ROOT=/opt/webobjects | ||
| 13 | export URL_PART=apps | ||
| 14 | {{/code}} | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | The default behaviour is for URL_PART to be "cgi-bin". I prefer to use "apps" in my WebObjects URLs. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | == Install Java 17 == | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | {{code}} | ||
| 21 | sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk-headless | ||
| 22 | {{/code}} | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | At time of writing this was build 17.0.8.1+1-Ubuntu-0ubuntu122.04. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | == Add user and group == | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | {{code}} | ||
| 29 | sudo groupadd $WEBOBJECTS_GROUP | ||
| 30 | sudo useradd -m -g $WEBOBJECTS_GROUP -s /bin/bash $WEBOBJECTS_USER | ||
| 31 | echo -e "export NEXT_ROOT=$NEXT_ROOT" | sudo tee /home/$WEBOBJECTS_USER/.bash_profile | ||

| 39 | sudo mkdir -p /etc/WebObjects/wotaskd | ||
| 40 | sudo mkdir -p /etc/WebObjects/JavaMonitor | ||
