Instrumenting an application with JRas extensions

The JRas framework that is described in this task and its sub-tasks is deprecated. However, you can achieve similar results using Java logging.

To create an application using the WebSphere Application Server JRas extensions...

Determine the mode for the extensions integrated, stand-alone or combined.
If the extensions are used in either stand-alone or combined mode, create the necessary handler and formatter classes.
If localized messages are used by the application, create a resource bundle.
In the application code, get a reference to the Manager class and create the manager and logger instances.
Insert the appropriate message and trace logging statements in the application.
