Overview

A complete reference to the complex and multifaceted middleware that is WebSphere Application Server—used by huge enterprises as well as small businesses—this guide covers not only installation and configuration but the critical verification and management process for ensuring successful installation and implementation. All of the different packages, from Express to Network, are addressed so that companies of all sizes will be able to successfully implement WebSphere Application Server V6. The steps involved in setting up a complete WebSphere Application Server installation are provided, and the configuration process for a highly available, workload-managed (HA/WLM), clustered environment built using the WebSphere V6 Network Deployment package is demonstrated. Also discussed are dynamic caching, security, Web service enablement, the Application Server Tool (AST) kit, and WebSphere Rapid Deployment (WRD).

WebSphere Application Server is complex and multifaceted middleware that is used by huge enterprises as well as small businesses. The authors of this book have done an excellent job of covering the many facets of the software. Other books on this software cover installation and configuration, but this book goes beyond that to cover the critical verification and management process to ensure a successful installation and implementation. And it addresses all of the different packages from Express to Network packages so that no matter what size the company the reader will be able to successfully implement WebSphere Application Server V6. To demonstrate the steps involved in setting up a complete WebSphere Application Server installation, this book walks you through the configuration process for a highly available, workload-managed (HA/WLM), clustered environment built using the WebSphere V6 Network Deployment package. You'll learn how to assume all the responsibilities and roles required to implement this architecture, including setup of a standalone application server, IBM HTTP Server and the plug-in module, the Network Deployment package, node federation, the HTTP Server distributed plug-in, clustering, HTTP session persistence, the Service Integration Bus and messaging engine, and Edge Server Load Balancer.
