Samples Gallery

The Samples Gallery offers a set of samples that demonstrate common Web application tasks. The Samples install on your local machine by default if you choose a typical install in the product installation wizard; however, if you choose a custom install, the Samples are available as an option.

The Samples Gallery includes the following samples:

• The Plants by WebSphere application, which demonstrates several J2EE functions, using an online store that specializes in plant and garden tool sales.

• Technology Samples, which showcase enterprise beans, servlets, JavaServer Pages technology, message-driven beans, and J2EE application client.

• The Java Pet Store Application, which demonstrates J2EE technology, using an online pet store.

• The message-driven beans Samples demonstrate message-driven beans receiving messages from the Point-to-Point and Publish Subscribe messaging models. It also demonstrates Java Message Service (JMS) inside the client container.

 

Finding the Samples Gallery.

Once the Samples are installed on your local machine, they are available to try out. Locate them at http://localhost:9080/WSsamples/. The default port is 9080. If you do not find the Samples on your localhost, confirm their installation and the port number for the internal HTTP server. If you selected coexistence during installation, and changed the HTTP Transport from 9080 to another value, use the new value in place of 9080.

On Windows platforms, you can also find the Samples by clicking...

Start | Programs | IBM WebSphere | Application Server v5.0 | Samples Gallery

It is possible to change the port number, if necessary, in the properties window for the menu item.

 

Client Samples.

A separate Samples Gallery is available for the client Samples. To view these Samples, install the WebSphere Application Server client. The Client Samples Gallery demonstrates the following:

• J2EE application client.
• Java thin client.
• Applet client.
• ActiveX to EJB Bridge client.
• CORBA C++ SDK Client.

Code Examples

In addition to the Samples in the Samples Gallery, you can find other code examples in the information center by clicking...

Reference | Examples

Demonstration purposes only:

The Samples are for demonstration purposes only. The code provided is not intended to run in a secured production environment. The Samples support Java 2 Security, therefore the Samples implement policy-based access control that checks for permissions on protected system resources, such as file I/O.

The Samples also support global security.

Not supported in multiserver environment:

The Samples are not supported in a multiserver, clustered environment. Many of the Samples use Cloudscape as a persistent data store on the server. Only one instance of Cloudscape is supported per Java virtual machine (JVM). As a result, the second server in the node will fail to start the Sample applications, since an instance of Cloudscape has already been created with the first server in the node.

Additional Samples: Additional WebSphere Application Server Samples are available on the IBM WebSphere Developer Domain .
