Building the SSO application

We can create the itim_ws.war file by using the build scripts in the /examples directory.

Before you compile the examples, the WAS_HOME environment variable must be set to the WebSphere Application Server home directory.

To build only the SSO application, specify sso_sample as the target when you build the examples. For example, when you issue the build sso_sample command on Windows operating systems, or the ./build.sh sso_sample command on UNIX operating systems, it creates the itim_ws.war file..

You must re-create the itim_ws.war file if we change the source of the SSO application.

1. Log in as a user in ISIM.

2. Open a command prompt.

3. Change directories to ITIM_HOME/extensions/RELEASE_VERSION/examples.

4. Compile the source code. Type one of the following commands

   • On Windows operating systems

     build

   • On UNIX operating systems

     build.sh

   The command compiles the Java classes into the following files.
   • ITIM_HOME/extensions/RELEASE_VERSION/lib/examples.jar
   • ITIM_HOME/extensions/RELEASE_VERSION/examples/self_care/itim_expi.war
   • ITIM_HOME/extensions/RELEASE_VERSION/examples/selfregistration/sr.war
   • ITIM_HOME/extensions/RELEASE_VERSION/examples/ws/SSOSample/itim_ws.war

Some examples require that the examples.jar file is available on the classpath of the application server. See Add the examples.jar file to the class path

• Add the examples.jar file to the class path
  Some examples require that the example code is run within ISIM. To run the code, the ITIM_HOME/extensions/RELEASE_VERSION/lib/examples.jar must be added to the class path of the application server.
