22.9 Deploying to WebSphere

This section describes deployment details that are specific to WebSphere.

22.9.1 WebSphere Versions Supported

Table 22-6 shows the supported versions of WebSphere:

Table 22-6 Support Matrix for WebSphere

WebSphere version	JDK version	J2EE version
6.0.1	1.4.2	1.4

This version of WebSphere supports JDK 1.4. This means that you need to configure JDeveloper to build your applications with JDK 1.4 instead of JDK 1.5. See Section 22.11, "Deploying to Application Servers That Support JDK 1.4" for details.
Before you can deploy applications that use ADF to WebSphere, you need to install the ADF runtime libraries on WebSphere. See Section 22.12.2, "Configuring WebSphere 6.0.1 to Run ADF Applications" for details. Note that JDeveloper cannot connect to WebSphere application servers. This means you have to use the manual method of installing the ADF runtime libraries.

Check that you have the following lines in the web.xml file for the ADF application you want to deploy:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.jsp.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

You may need to configure data sources and other variables for deployment. Use the correct DataSource name, JNDI name, URLs, etc, that were used when creating the application.
After deploying the application, you need to add the appropriate shared library reference for the ADF application, depending on your application's SQL flavor and type map. You created the shared library in step 5.

You can deploy using the WebSphere console (for example: http://<websphere_host:port>/ibm/console/).
