Despite what the JB4 installation instructions say, IAS is not on a cdrom by itself, it's on the JB4 Enterprise cdrom under the /ias subdirectory. To install IAS, launch setup.exe or setup.sh from that directory. Use setup.sh if you're installing it on Linux or Solaris, setup.exe if you're installing on Windows.

IAS requires its own license and serial number. This is free, you've already paid for it by paying for Enterprise, but the serial number is not packaged with Enterprise.

You'll be asked for your JB4E Serial number and Reg key. Once you've entered them, you'll be shown a table containing "Platform","Company", and "Key" values. Note these carefully. The form will print if your browser allows, I printed my copy and stuffed it into my manuals.

Once you get into the IAS installer, it will ask for your name, company, and key. Leave the name blank if you like, but for company you MUST put "Inprise". The Key field should be the one from the table which matches your platform.

Once the installation has finished, launch JB4 and use the Tools/Enterprise Setup/Application Server dialog to create the linkage to the IAS directory you just installed. Save the settings, and close JBuilder.

Now launch JBuilder4 and select File/New/Enterprise to see the Object Gallery's EJB beans. You should now have five EJB beans available.

NOTE: You can proceed through the installation without the IAS registration key, but it will be a 60-day evaluation license which will expire. This will get you going if you can't get to Borland's website when you need the key.

NOTE: You don't have to actually RUN IAS to enable the EJB beans inside JBuilder. You only need to INSTALL it. IAS contains a number of jars which JBuilder is simply re-using.
