Invoke an example browser-based application

To invoke an example browser-based application to verify the installation, perform these steps:

  1. If your WAS environment is not already running, see Start the WAS environment.

  2. Open this URL in your browser (the URL is case-sensitive; the capitalization must be consistent):

      http://your.server.name:9080/hitcount

    where your.server.name is the name of your iSeries server. Port 9080 is the default internal HTTP port.

  3. If you see something similar to the image below, WAS has been set up successfully to run using the internal HTTP server.

    Note: The hitcount sample works for the first 3 checkboxes. The CMP bean option requires additional setup.

  4. Open this URL in your browser (the URL is case-sensitive; the capitalization must be consistent):

      http://your.server.name:80/HitCount.jsp

    where your.server.name is the name of your iSeries server. Port 80 is the default port for the application server's external HTTP server. If your application server's internal HTTP server uses a different port, specify the port number that your Web server uses.

  5. If you see something similar to the image above, WAS has been set up successfully to run using the configured Web server.

    Note: The hitcount sample works for the first 3 checkboxes. The CMP bean option requires additional setup.

You may want to try the other sample Web applications that are included with the WAS. For information on running these sample applications, see the WebSphere samples gallery.
