Hello Ranchers
Currently I am preparing for job interviews. One job needs "Java Server side development on UNIX".
I am assuming that Java Server side development means Java Programming using JSP and Servlets concepts.
I am not aware of how Unix platform is used with Java programming
Could anyone provide me idea of "Java Server side development on UNIX" if my assumption is wrong.

Thanks,
bobby

First what I would think about is Java EE development for an application server running on UNIX. As Java is platform independent, it actually doesn´t matter how and where you code it, but it look like that you´re expected to be able to deploy and administrate an application server running on UNIX.

To be sure just ask the job contact person for details.

Hello Bauke Scholtz,
Appreciate your quick reply. I asked the concerned person to provide more details on the subject line. As he being the HR guy could not be clear on this.Could you please forward me the url where I can find information of how to deploy and administrate an application server running on UNIX?

Thanks,
bobby

That depends on the appserver used. The documentation is usually available at the website of the appserver manfacturer. It isn´t that shocking different. It is after all just the same piece of Java code which only runs at a different platform. I would rather assume that they expect from you that you´re familiar with the basic UNIX commands. E.g. login/logout, change directory, list direcory contents, copy/edit/delete files, transfer files by ftp or ssh, execute a program, etcetera. Like as you could do in the Windows own "command prompt". You know, UNIX has no GUI.

But, again, just ask for details. During interview just don´t show that you´re scared of the command console idea, but that you´re eager to learn it if need be. It isn´t that hard. Good luck ;)

Interesting. I've used many flavors of Unix (Solaris, HP-UX, various flavors of Linux) and each had a GUI. In the Unix world, the GUI is distinct from the operating system, as opposed to Windows, where it is tightly integrated, so it is possible to install the operating system without a GUI to save precious resources.
As Bauke says, the actual procedures will vary depending on the OS and app server used. Your best bet would be to find out what the company is using and go through the documentation.
There are some differences when running Java on Unix as opposed to Windows. The file path separator and end-of-line character is different, for example. They always seem to trip up programmers who are new to the Unix platform.
