Newbie question: Installing Java EE

2014-03-01 Thread Bruce Whealton
Hello all,
 Recently, I downloaded Java EE with the SDK.  When I went to
install it, it could not find the Java Run-time, the JRE.  I have Java SE
with the JDK installed and have used Java on my system.   When I installed
Java SE it included the JRE. Perhaps the problem is that I have Java SE
1.7u51 and the latest version of Java EE is 1.7u45, I believe.  So, I guess
when installing Java EE, the installer expects you to already have the Java
Run time installed?  
 Next question is with regard to the server.  Is there any
reason one would run both Tomcat and Glass-Fish server?  I'm not really sure
what the differences between these two are.  Also, there is the issue of
ports.  When I installed Tomcat it runs on port 8080 (and a couple other
ports).  In a production environment one doesn't typically see the port
specified in a link.  Do we serve web pages using Tomcat on port 80 in a
production environment or how is this handled?  You can't have two servers
running on the same machine using the same port.
Thanks,
Bruce

Thanks for the response, Daniel.  At this point, I don't know if I would
need more of the JEE container.  Perhaps when I learn more I'll find a need
for more services and features.  I know that one app I had in mind to
install on my server, would run in a Tomcat environment (not sure if that is
the right word).  The application is called Jena and it has various features
and/or components that are part of the Semantic Web related technologies.

 Hello all,
   I have had a difficult time getting Tomcat to start.  I first
tried installing it with xampp.  I had a hunch that the problem was that
there might be a port conflict, so I tried a different ports but still it
would not start from the xampp control panel.  BTW, this is trying to run on
Windows 8.1.
   I also downloaded the full version of Netbeans which includes
Tomcat and and Glassfish server bundled with the download.  I am fairly
certain that I told it to install Tomcat during the installation.  
 I thought that maybe GlassFish server is interfering with Tomcat,
but I only got that server when I installed Netbeans and I had trouble
getting Tomcat to start even before installing Netbeans which integrated
GlassFish server.  

It's difficult for us to comment when you're using a third party installer
for Tomcat.  I'd suggest using the standard Tomcat install process (i.e.
download  unzip) instead.

   http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/RUNNING.txt

If you'd prefer an installer, Tomcat also has a Windows installer.  It is
listed as 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer on the downloads page.
Instructions for the installer are here.

  http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html#Windows 

If you have a problem with either install method, just post to the list and
someone will be able to help.

   It might be something as obvious as not having Java EE installed
separately.  Perhaps Tomee+ will provide all that is needed.

What specifically do you need?  Tomcat is not a full JEE container.  It
implements the Servlet, JSP, EL and WebSockets specs.

  http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html

If you need more then you could look at something like Apache Tomee or
Apache Geronimo.

Dan

 Thanks in advance for any feedback,  and help, Bruce
