Web application server setup

On the Web application server, you must install the Web components of the EJB Bank Account sample application. From the HFS EJB samples directory, you need:
  • CicsSample.ear. A J2EE enterprise archive (EAR) file containing the Web components of the sample.
  • readme.txt. A text file containing:
    1. Step-by-step instructions for installing the Web components of the sample on WebSphere Application Server.
    2. Hints, tips, and debugging information.
Note: The default samples directory is
/usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts31/samples/ejb/bankaccount
where cicsts31 is the value of the CICS_DIRECTORY variable used by the DFHIJVMJ job during CICS installation.
Important: The rest of this section contains generic instructions for installing the Web components of the sample on a J2EE-compliant Web application server (which may or may not be WebSphere). It is suitable for experienced users. If your Web application server is WebSphere Application Server Version 4 or later and you are a novice user of that product, we recommend that you follow instead the detailed, WebSphere-specific instructions in the readme.txt file.
  1. Install the Web components of the EJB Bank Account sample (contained in CicsSample.ear) in your J2EE Web application server, following the vendor's guidelines for installing applications. In WebSphere Application Sever, for example, this involves using the administration console to:
    1. Install a new application
    2. Generate the updated Web server plugin
    3. Save the configuration
    Note: CicsSample.ear includes a default configuration for the EJB Bank Account sample. To run the sample, it is not necessary to edit or add any configuration information.
  2. Start the application using your Web application server's standard procedure.
