Instrumenting an application with JRas extensions

 

Overview

To instrument an application using the WebSphere Application Server JRas extensions, perform the following steps:

  1. Determine the mode the extensions will be used in: integrated, stand-alone or combined.

  2. If the extensions will be used in either stand-alone or combined mode, create the necessary handler and formatter classes.

  3. If localized messages will be used by the application, create a resource bundle as described in Creating JRas resource bundles and message files.

  4. In the application code, get a reference to the Manager class and create the manager and logger instances as described in Creating JRas manager and logger instances.

  5. Insert the appropriate message and trace logging statements in the application as described in Creating JRas manager and logger instances.
