Rarely do I get to have as much fun as this morning. I decided to download and install the new IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition V2.0.0.1 to one of our blade servers. The install was flawless and the instructions were exceptional. Before starting the server and deploying the XAware 5.0 WAR, I updated the startup.bat file with my JRE_HOME=%JRE_5_HOME% and added the XAWARE_HOME environment variable to the file, geronimo.bat. (set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% "-Dxaware.home=%XAWARE_HOME%").

I started the server, started the administrative console, and deployed the XAware 5.0 WAR on the IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition. Using a standalone XAware Designer and the Package Assembly Tool, I deployed a XAR package to the CE Server and tested the service. Excellent! The application server was up and running the XAware 5.0 asset in less than two hours. The application server is very light-weight, but feature rich. There were no issues with deploying the XAware 5.0 application. This was easy to verify using the test tab from the Package Assembly Tool. I really like the functionality allowing administration of the server using the Eclipse framework.

I would say nice! Good work IBM. We love those Open Source Projects!
