Jini(TM) Technology Lookup, Discovery, and Join Compatibility Kit Installation Instructions
v1.0

The Jini(TM) Technology Lookup, Discovery, and Join Compatibility Kit (LDJ Kit) is a code and documentation bundle that can be used to qualify certain characteristics of hardware or software based on Jini network technology (Jini technology).

The purpose of compatibility testing is to ensure that programs are good citizens in the environment of Jini technology-enabled services and/or devices (good lookup citizens). To be a good lookup citizen, a program must interoperate with other good lookup citizens and behave in a way that doesn't cause trouble for the rest of the networks, such as swamping a network with too much traffic. The rules of good citizenship are detailed in the Jini technology specifications and are, to a lesser extent, codified in the LDJ Kit.

The LDJ Kit software consists of a test framework and a set of tests that verify that a Jini technology-enabled program meets certain aspects of the core specifications. Note that a single LDJ Kit installation can test clients, services, and lookup services.


Verify that your path environment variable is set up properly

Make sure that the Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition executable files are accessible from your executable path environment variable. You can test to ensure that you have a version of the Java 2 SDK installed that is v1.2.2 or later and that your executable path is set up properly by typing:

	java -version
    

You may wish to use a platform on which the LDJ Kit has been tested, and which are listed at http://java.sun.com/developer/products/jini/tested.html.

Install the Jini Technology Lookup, Discovery, and Join Compatibility Kit v1.0

Once you have downloaded the Jini Technology Lookup, Discovery, and Join Compatibility Kit v1.0 you will need to extract it. For example,

On a UNIX platform, the following commands

	% mkdir /files
	% cp jinildj-1_0.zip /files
	% cd /files 
	% jar xvf jinildj-1_0.zip
    
would result in the creation of the /files/jinildj1_0 directory, which will be referred to as the LDJ Kit installation directory.

On the Microsoft Windows platform, the following commands


	C:\> mkdir C:\files
	C:\> copy jinildj-1_0.zip  C:\files
	C:\> cd C:\files 
	C:\> jar xvf jinildj-1_0.zip
    
would result in the creation of the C:\files\jinildj1_0 directory, which will be referred to as the LDJ Kit installation directory.
You are now ready to run the test harness in the LDJ Kit. For instructions on how to configure and run the LDJ Kit test suite, take a look at running.html. Also, it may be helpful to read the release notes.
