Default Apache DS server files layout
Every installer built uses almost the same Apache DS server layout.
This layout consists in an organized set of files and directory which looks like this:
The bin directory contains the Apache DS binaries:
- apacheds (or apacheds.exe on Windows) is the specific Tanuki wrapper for the target OS & Architecture
- apacheds-tools.jar is a java utility jar contains the Apache DS tools that can be used to send various requests to the server.
The conf directory contains the Apache DS configuration files:
- apacheds.conf is the wrapper configuration (defines the JVM and classpath to use, memory usage, etc.)
- _log4j.properties is the default logging properties
- server.xml is the server configuration file (defines the protocols, partitions, interceptors, etc.)
Windows executable installer
The Windows executable installer is built using NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/
), an open source system to create Windows installers.
The installer can, of course, be generated a Windows system but also on a Linux or Mac OS X system (for these two systems, a preliminary step is to compile the makensis command line utility that will be used to generate the installer).
