  • JDK 1.6 update 21 or later (JDK 1.7 is not supported as of 2014/0408; the SSP development team has also observed somewhat better GC performance with the Sun/Oracle JDK vs OpenJDK)
    • Download Location: http://java.sun.com
    • Environment Variable: JAVA_HOME

      Tip
      titleJava Environment Variable
      JAVA_HOME=/path/to/your/java (ie: /usr/local/java or C:\java\jdk)


      (optional)
      PATH= append the bin subdirectory to the path statement
  • Tomcat 6.X (Tomcat 7 is not supported as of 2014/04)
    • Instructions for installing and configuring Tomcat for the SSP-Platform (uPortal 4.0)

      Warning
      titleTomcat Configuration

      It is important to complete sections: Environment Variables, Shared Libraries, Shared Sessions, Java Heap.  Minimally, the catalina.properties file must contain:

       

      shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar
    • Additionally, a performance improvement has been experienced by enabling compression in Tomcat

      Tip

      Add compression="force" to the server.xml in the connector like the following:

       

      <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1

      connectionTimeout="20000"

      redirectPort="8443"

      emptySessionPath="true"

      compression="force" />

...
