Auto-Starting Applications at Boot Time
There are two ways to configure your application to auto-start
when the IF61 boots:
•Specify
AUTOSTART=true in the configuration file that you
deliver with the application. For more information, see the
previous section, “About Configuration Files.”
• After you install the application on the IF61, you can use the
web browser interface to configure the application to auto-
start at boot time. For help, see “Managing Applications” on
page 60.
IF61 .NET Support
The IF61 supports applications based on .NET Framework 1.0,
1.1, and 2.0. The IF61 uses Mono open source software to
provide support for .NET applications deployed on the IF61
Linux operating system.
IF61 Java Support
The IF61 comes with a JDBC driver you can use to create
applications that write data directly from the IF61 to a remote
database. For more information, see “Java Support for Microsoft
SQL Server and Sybase” on page 58.
For more sophisticated Java development, the IF61 supports the
open standard OSGi service-oriented architecture. This allows
system administrators to install, uninstall, enable, and disable
system services (also known as bundles) without having to reboot
the IF61 each time. To use OSGi effectively, you need an OSGi
server. For more information, see www.osgi.org.
Executing Java Applications
To execute a Java application on the IF61, use this command:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java myJavaClass
To execute .jar files, use this command:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar myApplication.jar
Note: The IF61 does not support ASP.NET.
