Deploying to a Simple JSP

You can deploy your J2C application to a Simple JSP.

Before you begin

After you have created your J2C application, you can create a JSP and deploy it on a WebSphere® Application Server.

You can test your application using one of the test environments included in the development platform. For example, you can include test environment for WebSphere Application Server V7.0, V8.0, or V8.5. Test environments for legacy application servers such as WebSphere Application Server Versions 6.1, 6.0. and 5.1 are not supported.

If the Web icon, Web perspective icon, does not appear in the top right tab of the workspace, you need to switch to the Web perspective

Procedure

  1. Open the Web Page, Web Service, or EJB from J2C bean wizard:
    • If you are creating a JSP for a J2C bean that exists in your workspace:
      1. Select File > New > Other > J2C > Web Page, Web Service, or EJB from J2C bean and click Next.
      2. On the J2C bean selection page, click Browse to locate your J2C bean. If you know the letter that the name of your J2C bean starts with, type that letter in the Select entries field, or type ? to see a list of all the J2C beans. Highlight your selection and click OK.
      3. Click Next.
    • If you have followed the J2C bean wizard to the end, then on the Deployment Information page, select Create a Web page, Web Service, or EJB from the J2C bean.
  2. In the Java EE Resource Type field, select Simple JSP, and click Next.
  3. In the JSP folder field, click Browse to select an existing JSP folder, or enter a name (for example, SampleJSP) in the JSP folder name field.
  4. Click Advanced if you want to set advanced properties.
    1. In the Resource Reference field, provide a resource reference name. This resource reference maps the name used in the application to the actual JNDI resource name specified on the runtime server. Creating a resource reference is the preferred method of managing connections, because it makes your application code less server dependent. That is, if you want to use a different server on which to run your application, you can create a resource reference that binds to the new server without needing to change your application source code. Once you provide a resource reference name, the wizard confirms that the JNDI name exists in the server.
    2. In the JNDI lookup name field, ensure that the correct name of your JNDI lookup appears. If it does not appear or is not correct, type the correct JNDI lookup name.
  5. If you selected Configure Resource Adapter Deployment on the Deployment Information page, click Next to go to the Specify the RAR setting page. This option is only available when the connection to the EIS is not managed. If the connection is managed, the RAR deployment to the server is implied.
  6. If you did not select Configure Resource Adapter Deployment on the Deployment Information page, click Finish.
  7. Select WebSphere Application Server V8.0 Server. Click Next. NOTE: If you do not see the WebSphere Application Server V8.0 Server, go to the View by field, and select name.
  8. Accept the default port number; if it is already in use, modify the port settings.
  9. Click Next.
  10. Select the EAR file of your project from Available projects. Click Add.
  11. Click Finish.
  12. To test the JSP on a server, select the Servers tab to open the Servers view. Start the server, if it is not already running. To start the server, right-click the server, and select Start.
    Restriction: J2C applications are supported to run only on the WebSphere Application Server.
  13. When the server is successfully started, right click your JSP project in the Enterprise Explorer view, and select Run > Run on Server.
  14. Select WebSphere Application Server V7.0, V8.0, or V8.5.and click Finish. The JSP opens in a browser.
