Starting Bedework

  1. Open two console windows and cd to the quickstart directory in each.
  2. For each console, set JAVA_HOME environment variable. For example:
    • Linux: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16
    • Windows: set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16
    • Mac OS X: export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
  3. Enter the following, one command line per console:
    1. Console 1: ./bw -quickstart dirstart  ← Starts ApacheDS ldap directory server for Bedework on port 10389
    2. Console 2: ./startjboss (Windows: "startjboss")  ← Starts Bedework core services in JBoss on port 8080 (and several others).

Note: JVM settings can be passed as parameters to this script: enter "startjboss -usage" or look to chapter 3.5 for more information.  If JBoss has difficulty coming up, try decreasing the heap size, e.g. ./startjboss -heap 512M

  1. Access the web applications at http://localhost:8080/bedeworkNote: this link will only work on the system on which the quickstart is running.
  2. When finished, you can stop Bedework by entering CTRL-C in the console windows.
