Using TDS and Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1 on Solaris

Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1 does not support the javax.servlet.ServletConfig.getInitParameters or javax.servlet.ServletConfig.getInitParameterNames methods. To provide the necessary parameter values, you need to replace calls to getInitParameter( ) and getInitParameterNames with hard-coded parameter values in TDSTunnelServlet.java.

To enter the required parameter values in TDSTunnelServlet.java and use TDS tunnelling with Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1 on Solaris:

1. Hard-code parameter values in TDSTunnelServlet.java.

2. Create .class files from the class declarations in TDSTunnelServlet.java. This should result in the following files:

   • TDSTunnelServet.class

   • TdsSession.class

   • TdsSessionManager.class

3. Create a directory for the .class files under your Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1 (NSE_3.5.1) installation directory, as follows:

   mkdir NSE_3.5.1_install_dir/plugins/java/servlets/gateway
   

4. Copy the .class files derived from TDSTunnelServlet.java to the directory you just created.

5. Copy the classes under $JDBC_HOME/classes/com/sybase to NSE_3.5.1_install_dir/docs/com/sybase.

   An easy way to do this is to recursively copy everything under $JDBC_HOME/classes to NSE_3.5.1_install_dir/docs, as shown:

   cp -r $JDBC_HOME/classes NSE_3.5.1_install_dir/docs
   

   This copies a number of files and directories that are not under $JDBC_HOME/classes/com/sybase. The extra files and directories are harmless but take up disk space. You can delete them to reclaim the disk space.

6. Set the proxy URL to the TDS-tunnelling servlet.

   For example, in $JDBC_HOME/sample2/gateway.html, edit the proxy parameter as follows:

   <param name=proxy value=”http://hostname/servlet/
      gateway_name.TDSTunnel_Servlet_name”>
