Membrane SOA Registry Standalone Installation

Requirements

To run the registry Java 1.5 or newer is needed. You do not need an application server.

Installation

To install Membrane Registry follow the steps below:

Make sure Java is installed and the environment variable JAVA_HOME is set.
Download a distribution from the download site.
Unzip it in any directory.

Now you can start the registry.

Starting

Open a commandline and change to the installation directory (eg. /membrane-registry-xxx).cd /membrane-registry-xxx
Run run.bat(windows) or run.sh(linux)./membrane-registry-xxx/run.bat
Open the URL http://localhost:8080 in your Web browser. Congratulations! The registry is now online. You can start registring web services or proceed with setting up some configurations(recommended).

Configuration

First log into the registry by clicking on Main Menu/Login and using admin for username and password.
Click on Change Password to change the default password.(recommended)
Click on Configuration.
Change the hostname to the hostname of your server. This is needed for the registry to create the atom news feed links correctly that they are reachable from the web.
