► A Web container ► Web services support including SOAP 2.3, WSIF, WSDL, and UDDI client ► XML and XSL support ► JDBC 1.0 support ► Connection pooling ► Simple WebSphere Authentication Method (SWAM) with local OS authorization Express Application Server can be installed on the same system as Studio Site Developer or on a separate system. A Web-based administrative console is provided to configure the server environment. Administration and operation can also be performed using the server tools in Studio Site Developer, but this is primarily for development testing purposes. The Express Application Server is supported on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Red Hat, SuSe, United Linux, AIX®, Solaris, HP-UX, and OS/400®. For specific operating system support information, see: http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/express/requirements/ 1.1.3 Database support 1.1.4 CVS server Most applications built for WebSphere Application Server - Express will feature Web access to data stored in a database. WebSphere Application Server - Express supports Cloudscape, DB2, SQL, SQL Server, Informix®, Sybase, MySLQ, InstantDB, and Oracle. A development-use only version of DB2 is included with WebSphere Application Server - Express on a separate CD. The DB2 database serves as a testing environment if you wish to test your applications on DB2. For specific database support information, see the IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express v5.0 Installation Guide (which is shipped with the project). Studio Site Developer provides tools that allow you to use a CVS server to manage team development. This allows multiple developers to work on the same application. The CVS server is not included with WebSphere Application Server - Express but can be downloaded from the CVS site. Information about installing a CVS server can be found in WebSphere Application Server - Express V5.0.1 Administrator Handbook, SG24-6976. 4 IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express V5.0.2 Developer Handbook
1.1.5 Web server A Web server to act as an application front end is not required, but can be implemented for added security. Express Application Server provides a built-in HTTP server, but it does not contain the type of comprehensive support you would find in a full Web server product. A Web server plugin is provided with Express Application Server that can be installed with supported Web servers. The plugin allows you to use an external Web server that serves the HTML content of an application and directs requests for servlets and JSPs to the Express Application Server. The Express Application Server administrative console is used to generate and maintain the HTTP plugin configuration file needed to route incoming requests. 1.1.6 Testing and deploying applications Developers install the Studio Site Developer component on a development machine. An Express Application Server test environment is embedded in Studio Site Developer so a stand-alone Express Application Server for testing is not required. However, it never hurts to perform a test run of new applications in a stand-alone Express Application Server test environment before publishing to a production server. If this is the case, you can install a stand-alone server on the development machine or use a test system set up for that purpose. Although administration of production servers is usually done using the Web-based administrative console shipped with the Express Application Server, in a test environment, developers may perform administration using the Studio Site Developer server tools. This book will discuss testing and deploying applications from a developer’s point of view. This means that we will cover using the server tools of Studio Site Developer. This is a perfectly acceptable way of configuring and managing both the embedded test environment and remote servers. As you move into the production environment, it is more likely that you will want to use the administrative console for managing the production server. The administrative console exposes more configuration options and is browser-based, meaning you don’t have to have Studio Site Developer installed on the machine in order to manage an Express Application Server.
