Simplified Server Configuration (in Demo)

• Simplest case: One XML

file for all server config
• Editable within the
workspace
• Exportable, shareable,
versionable

No need for Admin Console, wsadmin,

or extended EARs
X
resources.xml
server.xml

ws-security.xml
etc.

10 © 2013 IBM Corporation

Simplified Configuration

Features control which capabilities

(bundles) are installed in the server

'singleton' configurations specify

properties for a runtime service like
logging

'instance' configurations specify

multiple resources like applications
and datasource definitions

Any of this configuration could be put into a

separate xml file and 'included' in this
'master' configuration file
11 © 2013 IBM Corporation
12

Flexible Configuration

• Shareable config snippets:

• Config can be componentized at any level of granularity, from 1 file to

many
• Visualization through the tools as a single logical view
• Team development: keep the application and configuration components
together

12 © 2013 IBM Corporation

Class Visibility

• Full profile server exposes runtime classes to apps

• Liberty profile hides runtime classes from apps
• Apps can use open source without the runtime interfering
• Three types of API:
− spec API - APIs defined by an external standards group
− ibm-api - Value add APIs provided by IBM
− third-party - APIs provided by open source projects
• By default only spec and ibm-api are exposed to applications
− third-party can be added

Web <classloader
Application allowedApiTypes=”spec”/>

OSGi Framework

Libraries –

• Associated with applications

• Move common libraries out of your wars:

• Share classes between apps:

• Or have an instance per app:

 Third Party Extensibility
The Liberty Extensions System Programming Interface (SPI) provides the ability to extend
the Liberty profile with custom features, including full life cycle management

 Supports third party extension of the runtime

 3rd party feature life cycle
 Package and install
 Extend configuration
 Integrate with runtime

 WDT project type for feature development

 A product extension is a directory on disk structured like the wlp dir
 All content for a feature is relative to the extension location the
feature is installed to
 Registered in wlp/etc/extensions
 One file per extension
com.ibm.websphere.productId=<your product id>
com.ibm.websphere.productInstall=<absolute, or relative file path>

 File is named <extension name>.properties

to 20% better runtime
performance than JBoss
and 25% better than
Tomcat.

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or
performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the
user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual
user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

Dynamic Cache provider
• Primary benefits of deploying elastic caching,
compared with DynaCache + disk offload
• Measurable performance improvement is possible when
compared to WAS dynacache with DRS or accessing
disk offloaded data
• Less statistical fluctuation in response-time = more
consistent user experience
• Potentially up to 40% improvement in time to reach
steady-state after full or partial site restart, or after full
cache invalidation
• Extremely fast Commerce recovery time
• Organic cache warm up
• Simplified tuning and operational maintenance
• Reduced I/O volume to high-speed disk
• Elastic – SAN based disk offload systems are not elastic
• Coherent and consistent cache
‒ Same version of the page is always shown
‒ Facilitate edge-caching
‒ No possibility of encountering stale data

• No cold cache hit on the back-end

• Customer results may vary due to differences in
scenario and environment
• Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM
benchmarks in a controlled environment. Actual performance in a user's
environment may vary.

The Mapping Service Conceptual Model: 2
 When a Service Map development artefact is installed to the WAS runtime, a Service
Map Enterprise Application is created in the WAS runtime
 The endpoints that it can route service requests to can be overridden at install time, or
via configuration of the EA’s service clients

The Mapping Service Conceptual Model: 3
 A Service Map can be attached to one or more mapping services, in order to transform
and route the intercepted messages
 Note that – if a Service Map is not attached to any mapping services, then it does not
receive any messages to process

WAS Deployment & Administration - 1
• Developer exports Service Map from RAD
• Administrator installs Service Map into WAS

WAS Deployment & Administration - 2

• Administrator defines a Local Mapping Service

− Specify a Service Map to attach to (optional)
− Specify the endpoint address of a service provider - all calls to that service
provider are intercepted, but are only routed/transformed if a service map is
attached
• Web Service messages from the Service Client (or messages to the
Service Provider) are intercepted by the Mapping Service and re-routed
and/or transformed according to the Service Map

Summary

• Service Mapping provides a way of insulating an application that

consumes a service from the details of that service provider's interface or
location
 This is achieved by providing a simple way of performing content-based routing
and message transformation
• Service Mapping is supported in WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5
base profile via tooling in RAD 9.0
• Service Mapping extends the idea of data mapping to cover:
 Service-level mapping – selecting a target service
 Interface-level mapping – mapping from source service operations to target
service operations
 Operation-level mapping – mapping the request, response and fault messages
• Mapping Service Event Points
 Can be configured for any Mapping Service
 Publish events to a JMS Topic Space
 Events can be consumed by any JMS topic subscriber application
52  Events consumption is explicitly supported by IBM Integration Bus © 2013 IBM Corporation

Why you might need elastic caching
Scalability issues with database servers
• Adding extra hardware is not easy
• Licensing costs

Large volume of data

• Ability to handle volumes of data without
slowing down data access
• Handle data surges during product launches
and live events

Fault tolerance and self-healing

• Need for automatic mechanisms to avert
system failure affecting end-users
• Data integrity

Data redundancy and replication

• Maintain data reliability in case of failover

What is a Data Grid?
Distributed in-memory object cache
• Elastic, scalable, coherent in-memory cache
• Dynamically caches, partitions, replicates and
manages application data and business logic
across multiple servers

Capable of massive volumes of transactions

• Provides qualities of service such as transaction
integrity, high availability, and predictable
response times

Self-healing, allow scale-out / scale-in

• Automatic failure recovery
• On-the-fly addition / removal of memory capacity

Splits a given dataset into partitions

• Primary and Replica shards

 Application Middleware Infrastructure Trends

Rapid application development and delivery driving simplified,

integrated and automated development and operations lifecycles

Explosion of mobile, social and cloud applications driving new

demands on middleware infrastructures

The combination of huge transaction volumes against massive

amounts of data with little tolerance for delays is driving the need
for elastic caching technologies

Use of cloud delivery models to provide elasticity, scale, multi-

tenancy and context across different form factors and access
methods
