Before you start

About this series

This series is for novices who want high-level overviews of IBM software products. The modules are designed to introduce the products and draw your interest for further exploration. The exercises cover only the basic concepts, but are enough to get you started.

About this tutorial

This tutorial provides a high-level overview of WebSphere Application Server Toolkit and WebSphere Application Server. It gives you the opportunity to practice using it with hands-on exercises. Step-by-step instructions show how to package a J2EE application, explore the deployment descriptor files, test and publish the application, and maintain the application on the server.

Objectives

After completing this tutorial, you should understand how to:

Assemble and publish J2EE applications on a WebSphere Application Server using WebSphere Application Server Toolkit
Manage the J2EE application on the server using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console
Read WebSphere Application Server log files to assist in problem determination of the server

Prerequisites

This tutorial is for J2EE application administrators at a beginning level who have a general familiarity with using the Eclipse workbench.

Download and extract the HelloWorldEJB.jar and HelloWorldWeb.war files on the computer on which you want to run this exercise.

System requirements

To run the examples in this tutorial, install WebSphere Application Server V6.1 and WebSphere Application Server Toolkit V6.1. WebSphere Application Server Toolkit is provided to customers who purchase WebSphere Application Server. In the CD package, WebSphere Application Server Toolkit V6.1 is available on a separate CD in the WebSphere Application Server V6.1 CD package. Application Server Toolkit is also available on a separate DVD.

The hardware and software requirements for the WebSphere Application Server products are available at the following Web address: http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/latest/prereq.html

If this is your first encounter with a developerWorks tutorial that includes demos, here are a few helpful hints:

Demos are an optional way to see the same steps described in the tutorial. To see an animated demo, click the Show me link. The demo opens in a new browser window.
Each demo contains a navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Use the navigation bar to pause, exit, rewind, or fast forward portions of the demo.
The demos are 800 x 600 pixels. If this is the maximum resolution of your screen, or if your resolution is lower than this, scrolling is necessary to see some areas of the demo.
