WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile

For rapid development and light-weight

production deployment with high scalability

• Web Profile certified (Liberty Core Edition)

• Small footprint (< 54MB), quick startup (< 3 sec)

• Developer-first design of simple, shareable XML

configuration

• Dynamic runtime and configuration

• Unzip install and deploy

• Fidelity to WebSphere Application Server Full Profile

• Monitoring and mgmt through Admin Center or

scripting

• Install new features from repository with no server

restart

• Lightweight collective management scales to 10,000

servers


Simplified Server Configuration

Any of this configuration could be put into a

separate xml file and 'included' in this

'master' configuration file

'instance' configurations specify

multiple resources like applications

and datasource definitions

Features control which capabilities

(bundles) are installed in the server

'singleton' configurations specify

properties for a runtime service like

logging


Dynamic Configuration

• Dropin application install and update

• Configuration files also monitored for updates

‒All configuration changes are dynamic

running server

Add

<application/>

Add

<feature>jdbc-4.0</feature>

<dataSource/>

Add <library/> Modify

<dataSource>

<properties/>

</dataSource>


• Package up a compressed archive of a configured Liberty server type along with its applications

‒ Directly from Eclipse environment

‒ Resulting zip can be copied to integration or production environment and unzipped.

• For test automation outside the IDE, a command-line program to manage the lifecycle of server instances:

‒ Create [serverName]

‒ Start and stop [serverName]

‒ Package [serverName]

‒ Status [serverName]

• Updates to configuration of running server are effective immediately.

• Add/remove apps dynamically by drag/drop to monitored directory.

Liberty – “Packaged Server” Deployment Option


Liberty Kernel

The Liberty Repository holds all of the content that you can install on

the Liberty Kernel to make your own customized app server: New

Features, Samples, Scripts, Open Source integration, Betas

• Repo hosts IBM code as well as open

source integration samples for popular

open source pkgs

• Enables our continuous delivery

• Serves as the base for dynamically

built Buildpacks for Bluemix.

• Hosted on www.wasdev.net or on-

premise (planned)

A Truly Composable and Dynamic Server Based on configurable features


Zero Migration By Design

• There is no migration needed for Liberty configuration

‒the same server configurations can be used with different versions and service levels of the runtime

‒set WLP_USER_DIR to shared configuration and apps

• Existing features will not change behavior

‒new feature ‘versions’ will be added and will contain all updates and changes

• Supported versions of Java (J2SE) will move forward

‒Several of the Java EE 7 technologies require Java 7

‒Java 6 will go out of support at some point

• WebSphere Application Migration Tool already has support to identify J2SE 6 -> 7 changes needed by an application


Comprehensive Administration, Extended Programming

Models and Full Intelligent Management

WebSphere Application Server Full Profile

• Super-set of APIs provided by Liberty

• Support for older as well as current Java EE levels.

• Integrated high availability of servers and continuous

availability of mission critical applications

• Application version management to keep applications

online as version updates are released into production

• Comprehensive administration of cell-based topologies

through Admin console or scripting

• Installation through IBM Installation Manager

• Standalone WAS server farms

In each case, the app server tier is behind an HTTP

reverse-proxy tier.

Load-balancing in all cases.
