Overview of the HitCount scenario

The HitCount sample application counts how many times a page is visited. The application includes a Java servlet, a JavaServer Pages (JSP) file, and an enterprise bean.

The HitCount sample application is installed as part of the WebSphere Application Server examples and is already running in the default instance of WebSphere Application Server. It is generally used to verify that your application server was set up correctly. In this scenario you reuse the sample code, compile the appropriate Java files, assemble the class files into a new application, and deploy that application into a new WebSphere Application Server instance.

Assumptions:

• This is a single-server environment. (Your application server has not been federated into a Network Deployment domain.)
• A Windows 32-bit platform (NT or 2000) is used for workstation steps.
