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.

Create a groovy console and bind to selenium

Required groovy files In the previous posting we defined the pom file that we need for our build environment. Now we will setup some groovy files to get selenium and groovy running interactively. ConsoleWaiter.groovy The idea of Groovy Console I found on some other sides. Honour goes for instance too: http://josefbetancourt.wordpress.com/tag/eclipse-2/ I copied some code of this, and put it under src/test/groovy/com/jankester/selenium/test/utils: package com.jankester.selenium.test.utils /** * File: ConsoleWaiter.groovy */ import groovy.lang.Binding; import groovy.ui.Console; /** * Provides a wrapper for the console. * * Based on source by John Green * Adapted from: http://www.oehive.org/files/ConsoleWaiter.groovy * Released under the Eclipse Public License * http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html * * I added methods to allow use from Java. * * The run() method launches the console and causes this thread * to sleep until the console's window is closed....
