Choosing between WAS Classic and WAS Liberty

09 Mar, 2016

"There are a number of aspects to consider when choosing between the traditional WebSphere Application Server (WAS full profile, or WAS Classic) and WAS Liberty for deployment. If you have a hard requirement which is only available on one or the other (such as a particular API) then the choice is easy, but as the Liberty function has grown, it has become more common to need to weigh the pros and cons of each more closely; to consider topology choices, operational capabilities and security options. Over one hundred and fifty IBM products have shipped with Liberty as their internal application server and an ever-growing number of IBM SaaS offerings, such as BPM Workflow and Watson Analytics

You can enable Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for your web applications on a Liberty server. Enabling CORS will allow JavaScript clients to make requests against your application on the Liberty server even if the client and the server are on two different domains. Web browsers prevent these requests due to same-origin policy. I create the following configuration on my local machine on server.xml file:

Java 8.0 for WebSphere 8.5.5

25 Apr, 2016

The Liberty profile has support for java 8 for some time. If you want java 8 on WebSphere 8.5.5 full profile you must apply the fix pack 9 first. Installing the optional Java 7.0 or Java 7.1 or 8 does not imply that profiles can take advantage of this new version of Java. The managesdk command has to be used to switch Java or the WAS Admin Console. wsadmin can also be used. Instructions on how to use the managesdk can be read on this IBM TN(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019730) See the SDK version for each WAS version on this link(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27005002)

Packaging the Liberty profile server

02 Dec, 2015

A compressed file of your Liberty profile containing a server runtime environment, server configuration, and applications can be created using the included packaging wizard. Because a Liberty profile server is lightweight, it is useful to package up applications and the server in a compressed file. You can then store this package, distribute it to colleagues, use it to deploy the application to a different location or to another machine. To package your Liberty profile environment: 1. Stop the server. 1. Right-click your Liberty profile server, and select Utilities > Package Server. 1. In the Archive field on the Package Server panel, type a filename and path for your archive package, or c
