Preamble

A development installation is an installation that is not suitable for production use.

We recommend to use the ZIP archive to install Petals ESB Registry in a development mode.

By default, Petals ESB Registry is configured to work as a cluster composed of only one member, on localhost (it cannot be managed from a remote machine through JMX). This configuration is not recommended for a production use where at least two members is required for high availability reasons.

In particular, in addition to the operating system that are mentioned in the [production requirements], the following ones can be used:

• Windows (XP, Vista, 7).

Installation

As explained above, by default Petals ESB Registry requires almost no configuration.
