Ensure that you have the version of the application
server, Java, and JDBC driver, as indicated in the Release Notes document
for your product. Then include the latest version of the NexJ-specific files
on the server.
Before starting this task, back up your application
server.
To upgrade the WebSphere application server for NexJ Contact
version 6.1:
-
On the application server machine, install the correct version of
the JDK.
-
Update the JAVA_HOME system variable to reflect the location of
the JDK.
-
Install the correct version of the WebSphere application
server.
-
Copy the correct version of the JDBC driver, such as
jtds-1.2.2-6.jar or
ojdbc6.jar, to the
%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\ext directory.
Note: When you are updating the server or environment file for
your deployment using NexJ Studio, update
the location settings to reflect the correct driver
path.
-
For each node in the cluster, copy the following files from the
%NEXJ_PLUGIN% directory to the
%WAS_ROOT% directory.
| File to copy |
Copy to directory |
| %NEXJ_PLUGIN%\nexj-websphere.jar |
%WAS_ROOT%\lib\ext |
| %NEXJ_PLUGIN%\nexj-boot.jar |
%WAS_ROOT%\nexj\lib |
Note: If you are configuring
nexj-websphere.jar in WebSphere as a shared
library instead of copying it to the
WAS_ROOT\lib\ext folder, you should configure
WebSphere as follows:
- In WebSphere, configure the shared library settings by
expanding Environment and selecting
Shared Libraries.
- Associate the shared library with the server by expanding
Servers and selecting
Application Servers. Select . If a class loader does not exist, create one and
under Additional Properties click on
Shared library references.
- Configure the Resource Adapter settings by selecting
. Configure the jar files in Shared
Libraries under Class
path.
- Clean all of the transaction logs for the server used to run
your application.
- Start the server.
The WebSphere application server has been updated for NexJ Contact
version 6.1.
