I want to create a Spring Boot REST Web Service and deploy and publish it in Traditional Websphere 9 Application Server. Is it possible ?
What all challenges I might encounter? Can someone please provide me few pointers for reference?
Yes this can be done. It is not a good design, but yes it can be done. Back in the day when I was working for a big bank, they deployed java spring-boot microservices in IBM websphere(Not liberty).
How to do it?
1) Package your deployable as war. You can do this by editing your pom to package as WAR.
2) You can either add connection string config in your springboot starter class or get a JNDI created in the websphere instance. We observed that performance of the API's improved when the app used websphere JNDI as opposed to app created connection bean.
3) If you use IBM MQ, the best course of action is get a non-ssl and ssl based channel created at MQ and a JNDI for the MQ connection as well.
4) If you plan to create MQ connection beans within the app, like we did, ensure the JKS file has all the valid set of signers of your org.
Problems we faced
1) Our app used a lot of third party rule engine like drools, so ensure the websphere server.xml is configured to servlet version 3.1 or higher
2) Webshpere admin console is helpful, but don't just blindly believe if it says green to your container, always check your app logs for errors.
3) Common pain points are establishing a successful connection with IBM MQ host. Get a MQ server admin to troubleshoot all MQRC errors.
4) If you plan to use Oracle as backend, ensure the DBA has created a wallet for you to enable both SSL and Non SSL connections. Some organisations are picky with non-sssl db connections. It is easier to handle all this if you leverage webspehere JNDI for DB connections.
Let me know if this helped.
Both WebSphere Traditional and WebSphere Liberty support Spring boot.

I have been trying to integrate IBM WebSphere MQ with WildFly server, as part of a application-server redeployment POC.
Have managed to deploy and added the resource adapter (wmq.jmsra.rar).
Also, managed to set-up the jmsQueueConnectionFactory via Connection Definitions, and jmsQueue via Admin Objects.
However, can't seem to find a configuration which would allow for setting of jmsActivationSpec. Greatly appreciate some help!
Can some one help in providing steps for creating a datasource for mongodb in websphere
A recommended approach for using the MongoDB java driver in WebSphere Application Server Liberty is documented here:
https://openliberty.io/blog/2019/02/19/mongodb-with-open-liberty.html
If you are using traditional WebSphere Application Server rather than Liberty, the CDI aspect of the approach is all standard and will work there as well, however, the MicroProfile Config part would not be available.
We need to setup JBOSS Server , Load Balancer for our Java/J2EE application in production server for approx 5000 users.
Can someone please elaborate on infrastructure required , like suitable Hardware ?
What kind on Web Server , then Application server like JBOSS EAP , How to setup load balancer , enable audit logs. Configure clustering, fail over and load balancing. Configure Web Connectors and web properties in JBoss applications.
High availability and disaster recovery. These topics are very important.
I am actually a developer , have never configured deployment environment in production as an Administrator. I tried to search similar post , but got no results. Please guide the architecture as guideline. I will explore it further
You have asked about a huge range of topics here. You can find guides on how to set up and configure most of them in the JBoss EAP documentation, which is available here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/
I am new to JMS and WAS. I am grateful if someone provides any reference that helps me to create a web application in eclipse with JMS and WAS 7.0.
Also want to get answers for below questions..
How to inject ConnectionFactory or Destination object (created in WAS) into application using jndi?
How to install and run JMS web application on WAS server?
First you need to decide on the provider for JMS. It could be WebSphere MQ, the JMS provider that comes inbuilt with WAS or some other provider too.
Refer to the redbooks https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/sg247770.html?Open.
You can use InitialContext to lookup connection factory and Destination.
You can deploy the JMS app just like any other app. But ensure that JNDI objects are configured.
This is also a nice info-center to use for reference: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/prodconn/v1r0m0/topic/com.ibm.scenarios.wmqwasusing.doc/topics/scenario_overview.htm
I am newby to TomEE+. I just try to deploy my existings EJB (large application with about 100 jars) from JBoss, just copying in webapps.
It seems to work but when I start my client, It tries to call my ejb and fails due to bad port :
Client configuration :
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099
How can I change the openejb port listening ? Do I have many change to switch JBoss to TomEE ?
Thanks
How do you call EJBs from client? TommEE is not full profile certified Java EE6 server so if you are using something what is not in web profile, there's some chance that it's not yet implemented.
