COM.volano.Main

COM.volano.Main runs the VolanoChat™ server.

SYNOPSIS

java COM.volano.Main [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

COM.volano.Main runs the VolanoChat server by starting up its three embedded servers—the chat server, the administrative server, and the servlet runner. See the VolanoChat Server chapter for a complete description of the server and its architecture.

Note that to find the Java class file, COM/volano/Main.class, you'll need either to have no CLASSPATH defined or to have the current working directory (".") included in the definition of your CLASSPATH environment variable.

OPTIONS

file: Specifies the path to the VolanoChat server properties file which defines the server's configuration. When no properties file is specified, the server looks for its properties depending on the value of the install.root system property. If install.root is defined, the server looks for its properties in a file called properties.txt in the directory defined by install.root. If install.root is undefined, the server looks for its properties in a file called properties.txt in the current working directory. Any relative file paths defined as values of server properties are assumed to be relative to the location of the properties file itself.

SYSTEM PROPERTIES

The following properties can be added to the Java system by defining them as an option to your Java interpreter. See the documentation for your Java virtual machine for details.

install.root: Used to determine the installation root directory. This system property is defined in the InstallShield launch scripts created when you install VolanoChat, such as the vcstart and vcstop scripts. By default, the VolanoChat server looks in the current working directory for its files when install.root is undefined.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

CLASSPATH

Used to provide the system a path to user-defined classes. Directories are separated by semicolons on Windows and colons on UNIX. For example, on UNIX you might have:

.:/usr/local/java/lib/classes.zip

while on Windows, you might specify:
