Websphere 6 on Linux

Yesterday I started with the installation of websphere on Linux, Suse 9.3. I downloaded was.cd.6000.trial.base.linux.ia32.tar.gz from the ibm website, and unpacked it.

As logged in user, I issued a xhost + command.
Then as root, I ran WAS/install to start the installation.
I chose defaults, and a full installation, which installs under /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/.

At the end of the installation, the install program asks to run firststeps. I started that, and asked to check the installation. This check succeeded, amongst it also started the AppServer.
The links of Sample Gallery and AdminConsole however did not work. Probably it is not capable of starting up a webbrowser by itself. So, I just stopped the AppServer again from the firststeps, and finished the installation.

The server can be started now as root from /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/ :
bin/startServer.sh server1
and stopped again with
bin/stopServer.sh server1

You can see that the server is running with the command
netstat -an | grep LISTEN
you should see ports 9080, 9060, 9443, ..

To start the adminconsole, open a browser with
http://localhost:9060/ibm/console/
Examples applications can be opened with
http://localhost:9080/WSsamples/en/index.html
http://localhost:9080/hitcount
http://localhost:9080/PlantsByWebSphere/

Next: how to do a simple deployment.

Junit4 running parallel junit classes

To run junit testcases parallel, you can create your own class to run junit with: Add this tag to your class declaration. @RunWith(Parallelized.class) Implementation of this class looks like: package mypackage; import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService; import java.util.concurrent.Executors; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.junit.runners.Parameterized; import org.junit.runners.model.RunnerScheduler; public class Parallelized extends Parameterized {         private static class ThreadPoolScheduler implements RunnerScheduler     {         private ExecutorService executor;                 public ThreadPoolScheduler()         {             String threads = System.getProperty("junit.parallel.threads", "16");    ...

Interactive selenium testing

The problem Location of elements When I started using selenium, I noticed that it is not easy to do it right. First you start with IDE, but you notice, that the IDE does not really record a lot. In a next step I added firebug, and started analyzing how the elements where to be located: either by tag, id, class etc. Junit testcase With this information I could then create my junit testcase: @Test public void testMapView() throws Exception { //assert that we cannot see submenu of MapCreator elem = driver.findElement(By.className(SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU)); String style = elem.getAttribute("style"); assertTrue("Element must have style display off.",style.matches("display: none.*")); logger.debug("Located element " + SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU); //find menu and click on mapview elem = driver.findElement(By.id(SeleniumConstants.MAP_CONTROL)); actions.moveToElement(elem).click().perform(); //assert su...
