GOAL:
Is the Web Services Adapter supported with IBM WebSphere ?
GOAL:
Can the WSA be deployed via IBM WebSphere ?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
We test our WSA adapter against a JSE (Java Servlet Engine) that conforms to the Java Servlet 2.3 specification published by Sun. We do not explicitly test against the WebSphere product. So long as WebSphere support a JSE that conforms to the Java Servlet 2.3 specification the WSA adapter can be configured and should run.
A typical JSE has 3 deployment methods:
1) Manually copying the web service's directory tree ($DLC/servlets/wsa) into the JSE's web application directory.
2) Configuring the JSE to look for a web application in a specific system directory ($DLC/servlets/wsa).
3) Copy a .war file into the JSE's web application directory, which we do not support.
We support the methods #1 and #2, because the WSA's configuration file (web.xml) always needs to be tailored by the Progress installation. You will need to refer to the WebSphere administration guide to discover the alternative ways of installing and configuring a web application/service using either method 1 or 2 from above.
An alternative is to use the WebSphere tools and generate a .war file from the WSA web application found in $DLC/servlets/wsa. The Progress installation will automatically configure the WSA's configuration file, so creating a .war file after the Progress installation completes should work.
