Step 5: Verify the application

After the successful deployment of the message-driven beans sample application to your WebSphere Application Server instance, place a copy of the installed EAR file in your installableApps folder, and run the application on your iSeries server.

1. Enter the Start Qshell (STRQSH) command on an OS/400 command line.

2. To locate the installed EAR file, enter this command:

   cd /QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/Base/mdbconfig/installedApps/hostName_mdbconfig
   

   where hostName is the host name of your iSeries server.

3. Copy the message-driven beans sample application EAR file to your installableApps directory. Enter this command:

   cp -R MDBSamples.ear /QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/Base/mdbconfig/installableApps

The successful deployment of the EAR file must be tested to make sure that all JMS resources have been correctly set up. Perform the following steps to run the application client on the iSeries server:

1. Enter the Start Qshell (STRQSH) command on an OS/400 command line.

2. Enter the following command to run the application client:

   
   /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/Base/bin/launchClient -instance mdbconfig
   /qibm/userdata/webas5/base/mdbconfig/installableApps/MDBSamples.ear
   -CCjar=PSSampleClient.jar -CCBootstrapPort=your_bootstrap_port
   -CCsoapConnectorPort=your_soap_port -verbose -topic news -msg 
   "Message Text"
   
   

   where your_bootstrap_port is the Name Service port of your WebSphere Application Server instance, and your_soap_port is the SOAP Connector port of your WebSphere Application Server instance.

   Note: Port numbers were assigned after you created your instance. To display the port numbers assigned to your instance, see Display instance properties.

The JMS client sends the message as described above and reports the progress. The output is similar to the following:
