Deploying to WebSphere 6.1

This section provides basic information on deploying the Apache CXF JCA Connector and your application to WebSphere 6.1. For more detailed information, please refer to your WebSphere documentation.

The following prerequisites apply to WebSphere 6.1:

You must deploy the Apache CXF JCA Connector to WebSphere before you deploy your application. In addition, please make sure that the Apache CXF JCA Connector has not already been deployed to your application server.

To deploy the Apache CXF JCA Connector in WebSphere 6.1 complete the following steps:

  1. Logon to WebSphere Integrated Solution Console. The default address is:

    http://hostname:9060/ibm/console/login.do

  2. Navigate to Resources|Resource adapters|Resource adapters.

  3. On the Resource adapters page, click Install RAR.

  4. On the Install RAR File page, select the Local path radio button if the browser that you are running is on the same machine as the WebSphere server. Otherwise, select the Server path radio button.

  5. Specify or browse to where you have built the cxf.rar file and click Next.

  6. On the next page, click OK to install the Resource Adapter.

  7. On the next page, click the CXF JCA Connector link to edit the Resource Adapter.

  8. On the Configuration page, click the J2C activation specification link.

  9. On the next page, click New to create a new Activation Specification.

  10. On the next page, enter MyActivationSpec in the Name textbox and click OK.

    The JNDI name is optional. If it is omitted, a JNDI name is created for you as eis/<ActivationSpecName>, where <ActivationSpecName> is MyActivationSpec.

  11. Click Save to commit the configuration.

You can specify activation configuration values in the new activation specification you just created.

For inbound connections, the activation specification is associated with your MDB later. The MDB's deployment descriptor can define activation configuration values to override the values specified in the associated activation specification. See Inbound Activation Configuration for more detail.

To deploy your application to WebSphere 6.1, complete the following steps:

  1. Logon to WebSphere Integrated Solution Console. The default address is http://<hostname>:9060/ibm/console/login.do.

  2. Navigate to Applications|Install new Applications.

  3. On the Preparing for the application installation page, select the Local path radio button if the browser that you are running is on the same machine as the WebSphere server. Otherwise, select the Server path radio button.

  4. Specify or browse to the path where you have your application JAR file stored and click Next.

  5. On the Step 1: Select installation options page, click Next.

  6. On the Step 2: Map modules to servers page, click Next.

  7. On the Step 3: Bind listeners for message-driven beans page, in the far right column, click the Activation Specification radio button.

  8. Specify the Target Resource JNDI Name as below and click Next.

    eis/MyActivationSpec

  9. On the Step 4: Summary page, click Finish.

  10. Click the Save link to commit the configuration.

  11. Navigate to Applications|Enterprise Applications.

  12. Select the box next to your application JAR file and click Start to start the MDB.
