Appendix A: Installing XBikes on J2EE

Introduction

There are several ways to deploy the J2EE version of XBikes. This appendix describes the following common deployment scenarios:

• Deploying XBikes on WebSphere Application Developer Studio 5.0

• Deploying XBikes on WebSphere Application Server 5.0 on a Single Computer

• Deploying XBikes on WebSphere Application Server 5.0 on Multiple Computers

This appendix also includes a section on changing interoperability methods, so that you can see how to configure the different use case adapters to change the interoperability methods that you use.

To assist with the descriptions of what the XBikes developers did in Chapters 7 to 9, this appendix provides two installation methods:

• Automated

• Manual

The automated installation runs from a Microsoft Windows Installer (.msi) file, installing and configuring the XBikes application. However, the manual installation steps let you work through the complete process of deploying the J2EE version of XBikes.

Note

The manual installation is recommended for those with some experience of J2EE applications and IBM WebSphere products.
