Download the following distributions into /usr/local/src

Distributions	Location
Apache-JServ-1.0b3	http://java.apache.org (Servlet to run on Apache)
JSDK2.0	http://java.sun.com (Java Server Deveolpment Kit)
Apache_1.3.4	http://www.apache.org (Latest Appache web server)
JDK117_v1a or JDK1.2 (pre-release)	http://www.blackdown.org (Linux port of JDK)

gunzip and untar the .gz files from /usr/local/src using: tar xvzf 'name'.gz

We need to set some environmental variables
Since I use bash logon shell, I set them in .bash_profile

Paths to set in .bash_profile
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/src/jdk1.2
JSDK_HOME=/usr/local/src/JSDK2.0

For JDK < 1.2
CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip:$JSDK_HOME/lib/jsdk.jar
For JDK = 1.2
CLASSPATH=$JSDK_HOME/lib/jsdk.jar
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JSDK_HOME/bin:$PATH
Append path last because jar, java and javac also exist in /usr/bin!!

export PATH JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH

Logout then logon to have the paths set
Test the path settings:
# java -version
# servletrunner

If it looks ok then we can configure jserv.
# cd /usr/local/src/Apache-JServ-1.0b3
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/etc/jserv;make;make install

This should complete successfully if the paths are
properly set.

Created directories
/usr/local/etc/jserv
/usr/local/etc/jserv/doc
/usr/local/etc/jserv/lib
and the file /usr/local/etc/jserv/lib/Apache-JServ.jar

Now we need to compile Apache with servlet support.

1. Copy the jserv modules to the Apache source extra modules directory
   # cp /usr/local/src/Apache-JServ-1.0b3/src/c/*.* /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.4/src/modules/extra
2. Compile Apache using the following options
   # cd /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.4
   # ./configure --prefix=/home/apache --add-module=src/modules/extra/mod_jserv.c --enable-shared=jserv --enable-module=jserv
   # make;make install

Changes to configuration files

Modify APACHE_DIR/conf/http.conf

1. Modify ApJServProperties to point to the jserv.properties file
2. Modify ApJServMount to point to a zone when requesting http://host/servlet/myServlet
   ApJServMount /servlet /zone1

Modify jserv.properties file

1. zones=zone1
2. zone1.properties=PATH TO zone1.properties
3. log.file = a place for the log file with a 777 mode (JDK1.2)

Modify zone1.properties

1. repositories=PATH TO A SERVLET
2. repositories=PATH TO ANOTHER SERVLET
