vFabric tc Server Developer Edition

2.9.4.RELEASE
You have downloaded the tc Server Developer Edition. This edition of tc Server
is made up of the following features:
* The tc Runtime application server.
* Supporting utilities for creating and starting tc Runtime instances.
* Templates for creating specific types of tc Runtime server instances,
such as SSL- or cluster-enabled.
* Spring Insight, an application that provides you with real-time visibi
lity into the behavior and performance of
your applications.
How Do I Get Started?
---------------------
To begin using tc Server, a server instance must be created. This can be done u
sing the tcruntime-instance.sh script on
Unix and tc-runtime.bat on Windows. First, identify and create an "instance dir
ectory" for your instances. Then, for Unix based OSes,
the following can be run to setup a basic instance that is capable of handling b
oth HTTP and HTTPS:
* tcruntime-instance.sh create --template bio --template bio-ssl --insta
nce-directory <instance-directory> example-instance
This will create a directory in the specified instance directory called example-
instance. Not specifying the --instance-directory
property will create the instance in the current working directory, this is not
recommended. The README.txt in that
directory will explain specific details about the instance. To start this insta
nce, use tcruntime-ctl.sh
* tcruntime-ctl.sh -n <instance-directory> example-instance start
Once the instance has started, the instance will be available at http://localhos
t:8080 or https://localhost:8443.
There is also a createInstance script in the "quickstart" directory that will wa
lk you through the process of creating a new instance as shown above.
tc Server has many other templates available to customize the instance creation
process.
