For good performance, you'll

| What to do if I want
to give it a try? |
- Do I have the right JDK?
- Do I have the right Java Web Start?
- Download Monod Desktop Client software and give it a try
Java Web Start is the technology used to deploy
this application.
Java Web Start (by Sun MicroSystems Inc.) is a technology to distribute
Java software easily over the web. Every time the software is
started and you have connection to the internet, Java Web Start will
automatically look for updates on the web site and download the
required
changes if any.
Once Java Web Start is installed on your desktop/laptop, you can launch
Monod Desktop by clicking on the download link
below
.

JDK 1.4.2
|
What is the
Java Web

Where to get
Java
Web Start ?
|
For Mac OS X Users:
- Java Web Start is pre-installed as part
of Mac OS X. However, Monod Desktop needs JDK 1.4.2. If you
do not already have JDK1.4.2 installed, please download it using
Software
Update.
For Linux Users:
- Please refer to Sun's Java Web Start web site for
installation instructions.
- After installing Java Web Start, you may need to update the
Java Web Start configuration file to specify the default web browser if
you only have the mozilla browser installed on your Linux machine.
Example:
Add the following 2 lines to javaws.cfg in your javaws directory or in
.javaws directory.
javaws.cfg.browserPath=/usr/bin/mozilla
javaws.cfg.netscapeBrowser=false
Example (if you are running Java
1.4.2 jre) :
Add the following 2 lines to deployment.properties in your
/home/username/.java/.deployment directory.
deployment.javaws.browserPath=/usr/bin/mozilla
deployment.javaws.netscapeBrowser=false
For Windows Users:
- Please refer to Sun's Java Web Start web site for
installation instructions.

| What
to do if I want to
install the Monod server locally |
- monod.postgres.sql contains the latest schema. If you
are already running form-based Monod v1.43, just update the schema by
running the monod-1.4-to-1.5-update.sql
- The Monod Desktop server-side code is part of the standard Monod Download
already; form-based Monod and Monod Desktop run the same application
server. Follow the instructions in the docs/README text file
(included in the Monod tar.gz file). After
Monod server is started up, just launch
Monod Desktop client from here.
- A quick Monod Server installation checklist
- Download Postgres
- Install Postgres
- Download Resin J2EE/web server
- Install Resin
- Checkpoint-1:
Ensure the correct JDK version has been
installed on
the server machine
- Checkpoint-2:
Ensure Resin J2EE/web server can be
started up as is without Monod
- Download Monod tar file
- Unpack Monod tar file
- Create database users
- Create Monod database schema
- Checkpoint-3:
Test Postgres installation
- Load standard Monod records to database
- Checkpoint-4:
Test Postgres installation
- Edit configuration files
- Checkpoint-5:
Start up monod server
- In one of the configuration files, WEB-INF/web.xml,
there are three occurrences of "http://localhost/hessian". If you
install the Monod Server locally, you need to change these to
point to your local Monod server instance (e.g., your local Monod
server is monod.xyz.org, you will need to change it to
http://monod.xyz.org/hessian).
- FYI: Please
remember to
use Web Monod to change the password of the administrator defined in
the
standard
Monod records.
- Also, if you want to have the Monod Desktop client jar
files to be downloaded from your LOCAL instance, just change each
*.jnlp file such that change the codebase="http://..." is pointing to
your local instance.
