Installation Factory<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> includes the Installation Factory tool for creating<br />

customized install packages (CIPs). CIPs are used for packaging installations,<br />

updates, fixes, and applications to create custom and all-in-one installation<br />

solutions. Installation Factory is convenient for ISVs that want to create<br />

customized and bundled application solutions with <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong><br />

<strong>Server</strong>, as well as for organizations who prefer to have ready-to-deploy<br />

installation packages containing all the pre-installed artifacts. Consider using<br />

Installation Factory to create one or more CIPs and use those CIPs to deploy or<br />

update <strong>WebSphere</strong> throughout your organization.<br />

Update Installer<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> ships the Update Installer (UPDI) for installing<br />

maintenance packages, fix packs, interim fixes, and so on.<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Feature Packs<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Feature Packs simplify the adoption of new<br />

technology standards and make them available before the release of a new<br />

version of <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong>. This strategy started with <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> V6.1 and continued with <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>.<br />

Unlike in version 6.1, Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 and Feature Pack for Web<br />

Services are embedded to <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>. At the time of<br />

writing, there are two feature packs available for <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

<strong>V7.0</strong>, as shown in Figure 1-3 on page 13:<br />

► Feature Pack for Web 2.0<br />

This feature pack enables you to build and run SOA services in a Web 2.0<br />

application by offering Ajax and other Web 2.0-specific technical supports on<br />

the server, rather than the front-end support only.<br />

► Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA)<br />

This feature pack provides an implementation of the Open SCA specifications<br />

and a powerful programming model for constructing applications based on<br />

SOA.<br />

About Open SCA specifications: The Open SCA specifications were<br />

designed by key technology vendors, including <strong>IBM</strong>, to address the service<br />

composition and assembly development needs of organizations adopting<br />

SOA.<br />
