Websphere Application Server: Step by Step

By Owen Cline, Rama Turaga, Peter Van Sickel

Book Overview

A complete reference to the complex and multifaceted middleware that is WebSphere Application Server--used by huge enterprises as well as small businesses--this guide covers not only installation and configuration but the critical verification and management process for ensuring successful installation and implementation. All of the different packages, from Express to Network, are addressed so that companies of all sizes will be able to successfully implement WebSphere Application Server V6. The steps involved in setting up a complete WebSphere Application Server installation are provided, and the configuration process for a highly available, workload-managed (HA/WLM), clustered environment built using the WebSphere V6 Network Deployment package is demonstrated. Also discussed are dynamic caching, security, Web service enablement, the Application Server Tool (AST) kit, and WebSphere Rapid Deployment (WRD).

Customer Reviews

Really good step-by-step overview

This book was a very good step by step overview of this product. I had never installed WebSphere before and this book really filled in the blanks.

VERY GOOD BOOK

CLEARLY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING. IT'S EASY TO FOLLOW AND ANYBODY CAN START LEARNING WEBSPHERE WITH THIS BOOK.

If you need to work with the WebSphere AS get this book

The step by step format of this book is excellent. Within minutes after unpacking the book I was putting it to good use. I had spent a few days trying to follow all the cross references and procedures in the RedBooks for configuring SSL and was getting lost. But this book provided all the information I need in chronological order with step by step instructions and screenshots. The procedures are not infested with references to other 500 page documents or worse yet links that lead to the general ibm support page. And no "out side the scope of this book" statements leave you hanging at critical points.

Must for Websphere 6.0 Admins

It's a excellent source of information for Websphere 6 administration from development to production environment, I would expect something like this for Websphere Portal as well. A must for all websphere administrator's. Would like author to provide chapters online for Websphere 6.1.
