Deploying Administration Console on IBM WebSphere 7.0

If you plan to deploy Administration Console on IBM WebSphere 7.0, you may see an HTTPCLIENT error when you access some Administration Console pages, such as Instance Management. In such cases, perform the following steps:

1. Access the Administration Console WAR file from <install_location>/arcot/java/webapps/.
2. Copy arcotadmin.war to a temporary directory, say /opt/arcot_temp.
3. Extract the arcotadmin.war file contents.

   Of the JARs that are extracted to the /opt/arcot_temp/WEB_INF/lib directory, the following JARs are used to create the shared library in IBM WebSphere:

   • axiom-api-1.2.10.jar
   • axiom-impl-1.2.10.jar
   • axis2-java2wsdl-1.5.2.jar
   • backport-util-concurrent-3.1.jar
   • commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
   • commons-pool-1.5.5.jar
   • axiom-dom-1.2.10.jar
   • axis2-adb-1.5.2.jar
   • axis2-kernel-1.5.2.jar
   • commons-codec-1.3.jar
   • commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
   • log4j-1.2.16.jar
   • axis2-transport-http-1.5.2.jar
   • axis2-transport-local-1.5.2.jar
4. Log in to WebSphere Administration Console.
5. Click Environment, and then click Shared Libraries.
   1. From the Scope drop-down, select a valid visibility scope. The scope must include the target server or node on which the application is deployed.
   2. Click New.
   3. Enter the Name, for example, ArcotAdminSharedLibrary.
   4. Specify the Classpath. Enter the path and file name for all the JAR files that are extracted in Step 3.

      For example:

      /opt/arcot_temp/WEB_INF/lib/axiom-api-1.2.10.jar
      

   5. Click Apply to save the changes.
6. Navigate to the location (<install_location>/arcot/java/webapps/) where the Administration Console WAR file is located.
7. Deploy arcotadmin.war in the application server.
8. Configure shared library, as follows:
   1. Click Applications, and then click WebSphere enterprise applications.
   2. Click arcotadmin_war.
   3. In the References section, click Shared library references.
   4. Select arcotadmin_war and click Reference shared libraries.
   5. Select the ArcotAdminSharedLibrary from the Available list and move it to the Selected list.
   6. Click OK to save the configurations.
9. Configure the class loader order and policy as follows:
   1. Click Applications, Application Types, and then click WebSphere enterprise applications.
   2. Click arcotadmin_war.
   3. Click Class loading and update detection link.
   4. In the Class loader order section, select the Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last) option.
   5. In the WAR class loader policy section, select the Single class loader for application option.
   6. Click OK to save the configurations.
10. Ensure that the application is restarted.
