Deployment on Open Liberty

1 Deploying the JPPF resource adapter

1) copy the file jppf_ra_OpenLiberty.rar in this folder: <OPEN_LIBERTY_HOME>/usr/servers/<server>, where <OPEN_LIBERTY_HOME> is the root installation folder for Open Liberty, and <server> is the name of the server profile you are using.

2) add the following features to your server.xml:

<featureManager>
  <feature>jndi-1.0</feature>
  <feature>jca-1.7</feature>
</featureManager>

3) In the server.xml file, configure the resource adapter as follows:

<resourceAdapter id="jppf_ra" location="${server.config.dir}/jppf_ra_OpenLiberty.rar">
  <classloader apiTypeVisibility="spec,ibm-api,api,stable,third-party"/>
</resourceAdapter>

4) In the server.xml file, configure the JPPF connection factory as follows:

<connectionFactory jndiName="eis/JPPFConnectionFactory">
  <properties.jppf_ra ConfigurationSource="classpath|jppf.properties"/>
</connectionFactory> 

2 Deploying the demo application

1) copy the file JPPF_J2EE_Demo_OpenLiberty.ear to <OPEN_LIBERTY_HOME>/usr/servers/<server>/apps

2) add the following feature to your server.xml:

<featureManager>
  <feature>jsp-2.3</feature>
</featureManager>

3) configure the enterprise application in your server .xml:

<application type="ear" id="JPPF_J2EE_Demo_OpenLiberty"
  location="JPPF_J2EE_Demo_OpenLiberty.ear" name="JPPF_J2EE_Demo_OpenLiberty">
  <classloader classProviderRef="jppf_ra"
    apiTypeVisibility="spec,ibm-api,api,stable,third-party"/>
