Overview
Nirvana is made up of a server component and a client
API used by applications to communicate with the server.
The server, known as the Realm Server, maintains all
the information regarding the Channels, Queues, P2P
services and the security around these. The Realm Server
supports direct connections using normal TCP/IP sockets,
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) while also supporting HTTP
directly with no additional processes or web server
infrastructure required. By directly supporting HTTP
the process of configuring a Realm Server for the Internet
is greatly simplified..
Nirvana is highly portable - written in 100 % pure
java. It therefore requires a copy of the Java Development
Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to be installed.
The minimum version of the required JDK and JRE is 1.2
and the recommended release is 1.6.
In order to make the installation of Nirvana a pain
free experience we provide our users with a set of options.
Installers can run in either GUI or console mode in
order to enable it to be run on nearly all systems without
the requirement of having some sort of graphical display
to perform the task. In addition to that, installers
can include a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or not
which significantly affects the size of your download
but ensures compatibility and normal operation of the
product.
The installers can be downloaded directly from the
web site http://www.my-channels.com/. There are currently
eight installer options:
• Win32 environment install.exe . (with or
without a JRE)
• Linux environment install.bin . (with or without
a JRE)
• Solaris environment install.bin . (with or
without a JRE)
• Generic Unix environment install.bin . (without
a JRE)
• Personal Java environments pjava.zip. This
