Before you start

About this series

Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere® Software is the IBM Software Development Platform that allows you to quickly design, develop, analyze, test, profile and deploy Web, Web services, Java™, J2EE, and portal applications. This series of seven tutorials helps you prepare to take the IBM certification Test 255, Developing with IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V6 to become an IBM Certified Associate Developer. This certification targets entry level developers and is intended for new adopters of IBM Rational Web Developer or IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V6.0, specifically professionals and students entering into Web development using IBM products.

About this tutorial

This tutorial explores how to run standalone Java applications using Rational Application Developer and how to deploy desktop or server-side J2EE enterprise applications (including a Web module) to WebSphere Application Server 6. Learn how to change workspaces, as well.

Objectives

This tutorial demonstrates not only the ways of running Java applications in Application Developer 6, but some of the differences with earlier versions of the tool. Users of the earlier versions (WebSphere Studio Application Developer versions 4 and 5) will find Rational Application Developer 6 almost identical, except for features related to the associated server. After completing this tutorial, you will be able to run both standalone and server-side applications (such as Web applications) with confidence, use command line arguments from within Application Developer, and create or remove multiple launches.

Prerequisites

Before taking the first part of this tutorial, Running standalone applications, you need to understand the concepts covered in the first three tutorials of this series:

The second half of this tutorial continues with related issues pertaining to WebSphere Application Server 6. Rational Application Development certification prep: Part 4, Working with databases on the data perspective is not necessary for this tutorial, although if you finished it successfully you will save time by continuing with the completed project.

System requirements

To run the examples in this tutorial, install Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software or Rational Web Developer for WebSphere Software. Download a free trial version of Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software if you don't already have a copy of it.

The hardware and software requirements for this software can be located at IBM Rational Application Developer System Requirements.
