PetStore 1.3.1 Install on Win98

Question

I am trying to install Java PetStore 1.3.1 on a Windows 98 (unfortunately) platform.
maybe I need to run this on Win2000 or XP Pro? I couldn't find any info in the Blueprints area of the site that states that it will or will not run on Win98. Assuming 98 is ok, here is the background for problem.
My j2dk and j2dkee were a version or two behind so I upgraded those as well.
As part of the install process it is necessary to get cloudscape and the j2ee server running. both of these executables call the setenv.bat in the %J2EE_HOME%\bin directory. I have encountered a number of syntax errors when running the setenv.bat as follows:
1.
not sure if this is an error...
the script looks to see if %JMS_HOME% is set, if not it sets it to %J2EE_HOME%. In my environment, %JMS_HOME% had not been set up to this point. I assume this is ok, but since I have subsequent problems (#3 below), wondered if anyone has a definite idea here. Maybe I should set %JMS_HOME% to something else before running setenv.bat?
2.
set CLASSESDIR=%LIBDIR%\classes
%LIBDIR% is the %J2EE_HOME%\lib directory. There was no classes directory under it, but there are *.jar files. I added classes directory here but of course its empty and probably will eventually have a no class def found problem?
3.
set JMS_CLASSESDIR=%JMS_HOME%\classes
same as #2 -- there was no classes directory in the %JMS_HOME% path. I added a classes directory manually, but assume there are some classes that it will need here! As mentioned in #1 for my environment, %JMS_HOME% is same as %J2ee_HOME%.
4.
set JAAS_OPTIONS=-Djava.security.auth.policy=%J2EE_HOME%\lib\security\jaas.policy
for this line, I get a syntax error. In fact there is no jaas.policy file in the %J2EE_HOME%\lib\security\ directory. Anyone know why or what belongs in this file?
5.
set SSL_OPTIONS=-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=%J2EE_HOME%\lib\security\cacerts.jks
get syntax error. not sure why, did make sure the file cacerts.jks actually exists in this directory.
6.
set LISTEN_OPTIONS=-Dcom.sun.CORBA.connection.ORBListenSocket=SSL:0,SSL_MUTUALAUTH:0,PERSISTENT_SSL:1060
get syntax error. not sure why, and I don't know much about SSL.
thanks in advance for any help

Answer 1

Did you ever get an answer??
I'm in the same boat as you. I have Windows 98 and want to start learning J2EE. My old crummy Compaq computer won't handle Win 2000 so I guess I'm going to buy a new computer (with xp pro).
Were you able to get it working.
Jeez, you'd think it would be a little more flexible with a language that is "platform independent".
