Administration overview

JRun is a J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) application server that supports the J2EE specification and specifications for J2EE technologies, such as servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). In addition to defining technologies, the J2EE specification also defines a set of roles, each of which is responsible for specific tasks in the application development lifecycle, as follows:

System administrator Responsible for installing and administrating JRun, starting and stopping JRun, and adding and removing applications. This manual provides information required by the JRun administrator.
JSP developer Creates JSPs that generate dynamic content returned to clients. These JSPs can reference Java servlets, custom tag libraries, or JavaBeans.
Java servlet and tag library developer Develops servlets in Java and also develops custom tag libraries used in JSPs.
EJB developer Create reusable components used by both Java servlet and JSP developers.
Application assembler Combines the components of a J2EE application and ensures that they work smoothly together.
Application deployer Packages JRun applications for deployment or resale.
