Running Metro on SJS Web Server 7 Update 1

Recently I found that one can run Metro on SJS Web Server 7.0 Update 1 in minutes. If you want to give it a try, following steps would help you get going:

Set up SJS Web Server:

• Download Metro bundle and unzip it say, under USER_DIR. I will refer to USER_DIR/metro as METRO_HOME.
  
  
• SJS WS 7.0 Update 1 bundles JAX-WS 2.0 libraries. Therefore you need to override them with the latest libraries from Metro. For this, use wadm set-jvm-prop CLI command to set its class-path-prefix property to the jar files under METRO_HOME/lib directory.
  
  For example,
  
  $cd WS7_INSTALL_DIR/bin
$./wadm --user=admin_user --password-file=admin_passwd_file

wadm> set-jvm-prop --config=<config> class-path-prefix=METRO_HOME/lib/webservices-api.jar: METRO_HOME/lib/webservices-extra-api.jar:METRO_HOME/lib/webservices-extra.jar: METRO_HOME/lib/webservices-rt.jar:METRO_HOME/lib/webservices-tools.jar

wadm> deploy-config <config>

  For more details on SJS Web Server's administration command line tool wadm, please refer to the first two sections of my SDN article on SJS Web Server.
  
  Note: When you set class-path-prefix, make sure you don't have one already set. If you already have one set, append its value to the above command so you won't lose it. Use the appropriate path separator (: for unix and ; for windows) for class-path-prefix value.
  

• Set METRO_HOME environment variable. For example,
       bash$export METRO_HOME=USER_DIR/metro
  
  
• Build the war file.
  
  $cd METRO_HOME/samples/mtom
$ant server
  
  This target builds jaxws-mtom.war under METRO_HOME/samples/mtom/build/war directory.
  
  
• Add this web application to the configuration and deploy changes to all instances.
  
  wadm> add-webapp --config=<config> --vs=<vs> --uri=/jaxws-mtom METRO_HOME/samples/mtom/build/war/jaxws-mtom.war

wadm> deploy-config <config>
  
  
• Start the instance.
  
  $cd WS7_INSTALL_DIR/https-<hostname>/bin
$./startserv
  
  (At this point, you can find the endpoint details at http://<host>:<port>/jaxws-mtom/mtomsample)
  
  
• Build and run the client.
  
  $cd METRO_HOME/samples/mtom
$ant client run
  
  Note: This client assumes that the server is running on port 8080. If the server port is different, you must modify the port in its build.xml appropriately.
