Web services gateway: Post-install
Web services gateway bundled with the WAS Network Deployment, and is installed during a "typical install". Web services gateway files are copied into directories under:
/opt/WebSphere/DeploymentManager"Here are the relevant files:
File name Purpose Location wsgw.ear The Web services gateway application /installableApps wsgwsoap1.ear The Apache SOAP channel application number 1 /installableApps wsgwsoap2.ear The Apache SOAP channel application number 2 /installableApps wsgwsoaphttp1.ear The SOAP/HTTP channel application number 1 /installableApps wsgwsoaphttp2.ear The SOAP/HTTP channel application number 2 /installableApps wsgwcorr.ear The application used to correlate any asynchronous reply messages /installableApps wsgwauth.ear The Web service operation-level security application /installableApps WSGWResourceBundles.jar System messages for the Web services gateway application /lib Various install scripts Installation of the Web services gateway /WSGW/scripts/install Authorization scripts Generation of authorization beans for Web service operation-level security /WSGW/scripts/auth Cloudscape directory tree Cloudscape database containing the Web services gateway tables and pre-loaded data needed to install a database to use with the gateway /bin/WSGWDB
If you want to run a gateway cluster (for example to guarantee high availability) create the cluster before you install the gateway on any machine in the cluster.
To complete the gateway installation, you have two choices:
- Install into a deployment manager cell.
- Install into a stand-alone appserver.
For production use you will probably want to install the gateway into one or more nodes of a deployment manager cell. But for development or test purposes you might find it useful to install the gateway into a stand-alone appserver (that is, an application server that is not part of a deployment manager cell).
What to do next
To finish the Web services gateway installation, complete the following steps:
- Confirm that your system configuration complies with the Web services gateway prerequisites and constraints.
- Establish requirements for using a database with the gateway.
- Enable security if required.
- Either Install the gateway into a deployment manager cell, or Install the gateway into a stand-alone appserver.
- Test the installation.
