Developer's-Panther WebSphere

This chapter describes the process for deploying Enterprise JavaBeans in WebSphere Application Server.

Installing Enterprise JavaBeans

1. Start the WebSphere Administrative Console.
2. Create an application server (if one does not already exist for the application).

   For the steps to create an application server and a container, refer to "Creating an Application Server."

3. Add a shared library for pro5.jar and set the Classpath and Native Library Path properties for this jar file.
   • In the tree menu on the left, select EnvironmentShared Libraries.

   • In the main window, choose New and enter the name pro5.jar.

   • For the Classpath property, specify the location of the pro5.jar file. (The jar file is located in the Panther server installation.) For example:

     C:\Prolifics\Pantherwasserver500\config\pro5.jar

   • For the Native Library Path property, specify the location of the PanSmEJB file (in the Panther server installtion). For example:

     C:\Prolifics\Pantherwasserver500\bin\PanSmEJB.dll

   • Press Apply and OK to save these settings. When complete, the Administrative Console lists the shared library.
     
4. Add the library to the classloader so that pro5.jar will be loaded when the application server starts.
   • In the tree menu on the left, select ServersApplication ServersServerName.

   • In the main window, choose the server and select classloader to specify this property.
     

   • In the classloader, choose NewLibraries and select pro5.jar.

   • Press Save.
5. Install the application.
   • In the tree menu on the left, select ApplicationsInstall New Application.

   • In the main window, choose the jar file you want to deploy and install.

   • Press Next.

   • Enter any binding and mapping information if required. Then press Next.

   • Enter any installation options. Then press Next.
     
6. Creating the application generates a deployed jar file which should be added to the CLASSPATH in your environment.
   
7. Copy the panther.ini and server.lib into the application server's working directory. (This directory was created as parts of the steps to install and configure Panther for IBM WebSphere in Chapter 2.)
