WebSphere and Ant Deploy
Expert Posts: 285 Join Date: 8/27/06 Recent Posts
Hello,

I have to build my ext environment (enterprise) for WebSphere. However, I do see any settings for it in the ant scripts. The readme.txt file states that WebSphere is supported.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Do I just run the jboss-tomcat one or choose another one?

I hope to do the build tomorrow morning and attempt the install on WebSphere. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Chad.

Hi Chad,

Were you able to setup the ext environment on eclipse for websphere.

As per the documentation for websphere one can deploy the 4.2.0 war on websphere 6.0.

But we have a liferay application developed in the ext environment which we are running on JBoss and Tomcat as of now. How to deploy the same application on websphere?

Ant script with tomcat configued in the server.properties creates a ROOT application and deploy it on Tomcat on its own.

Do we have to deploy the same ROOT application bundled as war file on websphere 6.1 or is there any way by which we can build the application as webapp which can be deployed on websphere 6.1?

Thanks

I am not 100% sure that 4.2 will run on 6.1. I am currently using the 4.3rc1 on WAS 6.0. I have heard of others using 4.2/4.3 on 6.1.

For 4.2 what I did was take:

4.2 as professional. But had it export an ear file for JBoss/Tomcat. That is what I installed on WAS.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I decided to deploy liferay-portal-4.2.0(professional version) file on WAS 6.0.1. After deploying when I tried to access http://localhost:9082, request is rightly forwarded to http://localhost:9082/web/guest/home. However, this URL throws up a blank page.

Can you provide me the file names(dependencies,war file,jaas jar, mysql connector jars) which you are using and briefly let me know the steps you have followed? Which exact version of websphere(along with fixpack) you are using. Which database(type & version) you are using?

Here is what I have done:
1.Ran sql script create-mysql.sql against the lportal db of mysql server.
2.Copied dependecies jars liferay-portal-jaas-4.2.0.jar, portal-kernel.jar, portlet.jar, portal-kernel.jar and mysql-connector.jar into lib/ext directory inside websphere installation directory.
3. Did security, datasource creation and mailsession settings as given in the installation instructions.
4. Deployed liferay-portal-4.2.0.war on websphere as in the documentation.
5. Ran the script Insert into User_ (companyId, userId, password_) values ('system', 'system', 'password'); on lportal schema.

We are using WAS 6.0.2.11 Network Deployment Option. The database is Oracle.

We didn't set up the security piece, the rest we followed the instructions; everything ran as expected.
