C.2 WebSphere 5.0 and higher

Follow the steps below to install the application on a WebSphere server. You must supply the application WAR file to deploy.

1. Install WebSphere by following the vendor's instructions.

2. If you have not already done so, create a WAR file containing the replets you wish to deploy. See Deploying the Application as a WAR File for instructions on how to do this using the Enterprise Manager, or to Appendix C.1, Manual Creation of a WAR file, for information on how to create a WAR file manually.

3. Run the WebSphere Administrative Console (default, http://localhost:9090/admin) and log into it.

4. On the left side of the screen, expand the 'Applications' option, and click on 'New Application'.

5. On the 'New Application' page, select 'New Enterprise Applica­tion'.

 

6. In the 'Path to New Application' panel, select the 'Local File Sys­tem' option, and type the location of the WAR file in the 'Full Path' field (C:\warwork\sree\sree.war in the example below), or use the 'Browse' feature to locate the file. Click 'Next'.

 

7. Under 'How do you want to install the application?', select 'Fast Path'. Click 'Next'.

8. On the 'Select installation options' page, set the 'Application name' to match the WAR file name. (In the example, the 'Applica­tion name' is 'sree' because the WAR file is 'sree.war'). Click 'Next'.

 

9. On the 'Map modules to servers' page, select the 'sree.war' mod­ule. Click 'Next'.

10. On the 'Map virtual hosts for Web modules' page, select the 'sree.war' module. Click 'Next'.

11. On the 'Map context roots for Web modules' page, enter '/sree' for the 'Context Root'. This should be the same as the WAR file name. (In the example below, the 'Context Root' is '/sree' because the WAR file is 'sree.war'.) Click 'Next'.

 

12. On the 'Summary' page, click 'Finish'. Wait until the application installs successfully.

13. Click 'Save directly to the master configuration'.

 

14. When the master repository is updated, expand the 'Application Types' node under 'Applications' (in the left panel), and click 'Websphere enterprise applications' link.

15. On the 'Enterprise Applications' page, click the link corresponding to the application that you just created (sree).

 

16. In the 'Configuration' panel, click the 'Class loading and update detection' link.

 

Change the following settings:

a. In the 'Class loader order' panel, select 'Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last)'.

b. In the 'WAR class loader policy' panel, select 'Single class loader for application'.

 

c. Click 'OK'.

17. When prompted, click 'Save directly to the master configuration'.

18. In the 'Enterprise Applications' list, select the new application (sree), and click the 'Start' button.

Once you have deployed the application, you can launch the User Portal, Enterprise Manager, and Soap Repository from the following URLs, respectively:

http://localhost:9080/sree/Reports

http://localhost:9080/sree/EnterpriseManager

http://localhost:9080/sree/SoapRepository?wsdl
