This document contains the following sections:
For instructions about downloading the applet code from a Web server,
see:Deploying the EIP client applet
from a Web Server with a browser
This section describes how you, as an administrator, can configure
a Web server to allow browsers to execute the applet.
After you configure the Web server, your users
must install code required by the applet on their workstations.
These instructions assume all files referenced in these instructions are copied
into the same Web server directory, and that the files in that directory are available
via browsers using http. These instructions refer to that Web server directory as
(An alternative to the following steps is to configure your Web server so that
the directory where the EIP appletInstall.html
is installed ( In the Installing the EIP client applet: for users
section of this document, replace:
Update the following archive parameters, adding the jar files required for the
content servers your application is connecting to:
The applet runs on Windows 95 and Windows NT, and only with either
of the following browsers:
In order to run the applet, you must first
complete the following steps:
If the download fails, try another browser. If you're still unable to download
the file, contact the Web page administrator.
From the taskbar, select Start->Run->Browse to find the
downloaded file. Click the file and click OK.
Click Apply. Close the
the Java Plug-in Control Panel.
If the download fails, try another browser. If you're still unable to download
the file, contact the Web page administrator.
Ask your administrator for the address from which to launch the IBM EIP applet.
This section describes how to run the applet without a Web server.
The classpath and path environment variables may be set by running
the bat file cmbenv.bat.
If you have installed the toolkit on your workstation,
the cmbenv.bat file is installed in the cmbroot install directory.
If you have not installed the toolkit on your workstation you
will not have the cmbenv.bat file installed and therefor
we have included the bat file at the end of this document.
See cmbenv.bat
This section describes how an administrator would deploy the applet
so that the code is downloaded from the Web server by the browser.

your Web server exports. The directory \cmbroot is the root directory where EIP is installed.

) is accessible via HTTP. For example, you
could set an alias the address //host/eip to c:\cmbroot\doc
. If you
follow this alternative, ignore any of the following steps about
copying files from \cmbroot\doc
. Also, substitute
\cmbroot\doc
for c:\webfiles\eip
in these
instructions.)

to
c:\webfiles\eip

The supported versions are 1.1.1, 1.1.2,
or 1.1.3. We recommend using Java Plug-in 1.1.3.

Downloading from and intranet site is usually faster than downloading from an external site.

with:
<A HREF="plugin1_1_3-win.exe">Download Java Plug-in 1.1.3</A>
where plugin1_1_3-win.exe
is the downloaded file's name and you placed it in the same directory as
appletInstall.html
.
We suggest you create
a self-extracting zip file from the EIP installation CD and
make that file available on the web server for users to download.
You will need to update the instructions for "Installing the EIP client applet: for users"
based on how you implement the user install.
