This book is part of a series of books which are about the three core Java Enterprise application servers. Every part covers the aspects related to the administration and configuration of the application server, including some highlights about developing portable applications. All recipes are based on real world experiences and derived from proven solutions running in Enterprise environments.
Part I discusses about Oracle Weblogic Server, which is one of the core components of Oracle Fusion Middleware
Part II is about JBoss Enterprise Application Platform the commercial product from Red Hat derived from the popular open source application server (JBoss AS).
Part III discusses about IBM Websphere which is the IBM product for developing and running Java enterprise software.
This book covers IBM Websphere and aims to provide a quick reference to all aspects related to the configuration, administration and management of this application server. Here is the list of chapters which are included in this book:
Chapter 1, Application server installation: How to download and install IBM WAS. How to create Server Profiles.
Chapter 2, Application server Configuration: The application server file system and its core components. How to perform basic management operations.
Chapter 3, Configuring Database connectivity: How to configure a data source connection to a Database. How to define the scope of a data source (server level / application level) on each application server.
Chapter 4, Application servers pool configuration: Configuring the core pool services including EJB pool and caches, Thread pools and Web server pool configuration.
Chapter 5, Configuring Logs: locating the application server’s logs. Customizing the logging type and format. How to apply IBM Websphere specific logging extensions.
Chapter 6, Setting up Java Messaging Service: Configuring JMS components and leveraging the default JMS provider and MQ Messaging Provider.
Chapter 7, Developing applications: How to install a development environment for IBM Websphere. Common development best practices to increase applications’ portability.
Chapter 8, Deploying applications: How to deploy Java EE applications using different management instruments. How to create Shared Libraries and Business Level Applications.
Chapter 9, Clustering: how to configure multiple application nodes working together to provide increased scalability and reliability.
Chapter 10, Advanced Server Management: learning to use the wsadmin built-in command line tool in order to provide advanced management functionalities
Chapter 11, Security: introducing Security concepts. How to configure authentication and authorization services. Managing secure communication via the Secure Socket Layer protocol.
Appendix, The Appendix of the book contains some extra goodies for you, such as a reference for generating security keys for your application (referenced in Chapter 11) a quick set up guide for configuring OpenLdap (referenced as well in Chapter 11) and finally an Administration cheat sheet is included which contains the most common administration checkpoints for a quick reference.
