Installing the Abdera-based Feed Sample application on WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition 2.x.
The IBM® support for feeds, using Apache Abdera libraries, primarily consists of the following items:
- Feeds support libraries: JavaTM archive (JAR) files for Apache
Abdera and the required XML Stax parser support. The current set of
Abdera JAR files included in Feed are of the pattern
abdera.*.retro.jar
- Feed application: A Sample application that demonstrates
the use of the feeds support libraries
This section describes the procedure for installing the Feed Sample application into WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition 2.x. It is assumed that you are familiar with application installation and administration for the application server.
Before you begin
Locate the Abdera-based Feed Sample application WAR file that is provided with this documentation. D
-
If you have installed IBM WebSphere Application Server Version Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile,
Version 1.1.0, then you can find the WAR file in your installation tree. For example, if you installed the feature pack in
the following location:
Linux and UNIX: /opt/WebSphere/AppServerCommunityEdition
|
Windows: c:\WebSphere\AppServerCommunityEdition
|
Then, you can find the WAR and library files at:
Linux and UNIX: /opt/WebSphere/AppServerCommunityEdition/Feed_Sample/feed_sample/SampleFeedApp_Abdera.war
|
Windows: c:\WebSphere\AppServerCommunityEdition\Feed_Sample\feed_sample\SampleFeedApp_Abdera.war
|
Adding required JAR files:
- Feed requires the Abdera JAR files: abdera.*.retro.jar, and retroweaver-rt*.jar.
-
These JAR files must be added into the class path. One mechanism is to add
them into shared library, and associate it with the applications that need these
JAR files.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/wasce/V2.1.0/en/shared-library.html has the instructions for doing this.
Installation through the administrative console:
-
Log into the administrative console for the application server.
-
Click Applications > Deploy New in the menu.
-
Browse your file system and select the SampleFeedApp_Abdera.war file that you located earlier.
-
Click Install. The application automatically starts, so installation is complete.
