Integrating with IBM WebSphere

When hosted in WebSphere, WebORB plugs in as a J2EE enterprise application. Follow the steps below to install WebORB into WebSphere 5.0:

1. Start the FirstSteps application and choose the Administrative Console option.
   
    
    
2. In the administrative console, select Applications -> Install New Application from the options available in the left panel to initiate the application installation process.
    
3. In the right panel, click Browse and select weborb.ear located in the WebORB installation directory. Click Next to proceed to the next step.
   
   
    
4. Select the Generate Default Bindings check box. When this check box is selected, WebSphere ensures that the deployment descriptors from the WebORB application contain the information required by WebSphere. Click Next to proceed to the next step.
   
   
    
5. This step requires no changes to the default settings. Click Next to continue.
   
   
    
6. Select the check box for the weborb.war file and click Next.
   
   
    
7. Make sure the check box for weborb.war is selected. Click Next to continue.
   
   
    
8. This screen displays the summary of the deployment. Verify the information and click Finish to complete application installation.
   
   
    
9. Once application is installed, click Save to Master Configuration. This is required so that the application can be started.
   
   

 
10. Select the Enterprise Applications link from the left panel. A list of all deployed applications is displayed. Select Flash ORB and click Start.
    
    
     
11. Once the Flash ORB application is started, a green arrow is displayed in the status column.
    
    
    
    WebORB services are now available and can be accessed at:
    
    http://<websphere hostname>:9080/weborb
    
    If WebSphere is running locally, the client-side code to create a gateway connection is:
    
    NetServices.createGatewayConnection( "http://localhost:9080/weborb" );
