Build deployment system (updated for jLibrary 1.1)

First steps with jLibrary remote server (updated for jLibrary 1.1)

In this little article I want to shows the necessary steps to get a jLibrary standalone server working. As you will see, these steps it won't be specially hard.

• The first thing you must do is to download jLibrary server from sourceforge.net, or perform a build. jLibrary comes now bundled only in the shape of a WAR file. You can deploy this web application in any application server. Note that jLibrary has been tested in Tomcat 5.x, Tomcat 6.x, Apache Geronimo and Glassfish.
  
• Now that jLibrary has started, you can check if it is really working. Open the jLibrary client and click on the New Repository button. The new repository dialog will appear. By default, the only available option in that dialog is localhost, that allows to connect to the internal local server. To connect to a remote server, even on your machine, you must create a new profile. Click on the New Profile button:
  
  
  
• A new dialog will appear. In that dialog, you must enter the URL of the remote server. jLibrary URLs are just normal HTTP URLs. Note that this is a notable difference to jLibrary 1.0:
  
  
  
• Now you can fill the other fields. You must enter your username and password. Only the admin username can create repositories. By default, remember that the password of the admin username is changeme (remember that, this password can, and should be changed from the security perspective).
  
  
  
• Press the connect to server button. jLibrary will connect to the remote server. Then press the Next button and fill the basic data for the repository:
  
  
  
• Finally, press the Finish button and you'll see your new remote repository on jLibrary repository browser:
  
  

Now you can start to work remotely with jLibrary :-)
