20.3 Installing the RedTenant application

The RedTenant application is a Web application (level 1.3) that is compliant with

J2EE and that is based on the Apache Struts framework (V1.1). This application

accesses the back-end system through a business integration system and sends

XML messages to JMS message queues.

The software requirements for the RedTenant installation are:

 WebSphere Application Server V5.1

 WebSphere MQ V5.3.0.2

We use WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.0.1 to develop our Web

application. All the phases of the RedTenant application are built in a single Web

project named

RedTenantWEB. The entire project is exported to an EAR file

named RedTenantEAR.ear. We use this file to deploy the Web application on

WebSphere Application Server.

Note: If you want to install IBM WebSphere Application Server on the same

host as WebSphere MQ, you can install WebSphere MQ with the Server and

Java Messaging features and then install WebSphere Application Server

without the Embedded Messaging Server option.
