What is WebSphere?

WebSphere refers to a brand for IBM software products. It is designed for setting up, operation and integration of electronic business applications. These applications could perform well on cross platform environment. These set of software are java based web technologies.

What is WebSphere?
WebSphere is a set of Java-based tools from IBM that allows customers to create and manage sophisticated business Web sites.

Explain the architecture of Web Sphere.


WebSphere architecture consists of one or more computer systems which are called nodes. Nodes are available within WebSphere cell. A WebSphere cell can have one node. On this node all the needed softwares installed. If a WebSphere cell contains more than one node, then all the software components are distributed among the nodes. The software components that are installed in one node can share in the distributed environment. This distribution enables for scalability, reliability. The following are the components:

A web server which provides the services of HTTP A database server for data persistence WebSphere Application Server (WAS)

Explain the architecture of Web Sphere.


The WebSphere HTTP plug-in architecture has the following characteristics:

The Web server plug-in is implemented as a filter, which examines all incoming HTTP requests and routes them to other Web servers based on the composition of the URL. Each Web server has its own API that allows filters to be implemented. Standards-based protocols (HTTP/S) that are supported by firewall products are used. SSL can be used within the DMZ to encrypt network traffic between the Web server and the application server. The configuration file used by the plug-in is XML-based, and easy to administer. Multiple redirection rules may be defined to one or more application servers as dictated by the topology chosen. The plug-in supports load balancing and failover capabilities, which offer further scalability with very little additional administrative effort.

State some of the features present in web sphere.


The following are the features of WebSphere:

Suports the Servlet/JSP container functionality which runs on top of HTTP. Supports HTTP servers such as IBM HTTP server, MS IIS and Netscape iPlanet server. Supports HTML pages, Setvlets, Java Server Pages and XML. Supports EJB component model, Workload Management. WLM supports multiple servers within a single administrative domain.

State some of the features present in web sphere.


WebSphere applications use the following kinds of technologies:

Java specifications and other open standards for developing applications WebSphere programming model extensions to enhance application functionality Containers and services in the application server, used by deployed applications, and which sometimes can be extended

What is extended deployment in Web Sphere?


WebSphere Extended Deployment is a new product for IBM WebSphere software. WED extends the WebSphere software platform. The new features / notions include dynamic operations, high performance computing and extended management.

What is extended deployment in Web Sphere?


WebSphere Extended Deployment delivers enhanced Qualities of Service with features for optimizing IT resources. The suite comprises of 3 products: 1. WebSphere Virtual Enterprise:

It increases flexibility and agility to ensure business process integrity, improve service, application performance, and better manage health. It provides application infrastructure virtualization capabilities that lower costs required to create, manage, and run enterprise applications and an SOA environment.

2. WebSphere eXtreme Scale:

It is an essential IBM software technology for conducting extreme transaction processing. It allows business applications to process exceptionally large volumes of transactions with extreme efficiency and linear scalability. It provides transactional integrity and transparent failover to ensure high availability, high reliability, and constant response times. It operates as an in-memory data grid that dynamically caches, partitions, replicates, and manages application data and business logic across multiple servers.

3. Compute Grid:

Enables the scheduling, execution and monitoring of batch type jobs with enhanced service policy and workload management

What is Web sphere MQ JMS Provider?


The usage of WebSphere MQ is employed to use as Java Message Service provider for JEE applications which are deployed in WebSphere Application Server. The WebSphere MQ JMS is message service provider for WebSphere MQ systems. It is a set of Java classes. These classes allow the usage of JMS applications to access WebSphere MQ systems. The models point-to-point and publish/subscribe of JMS are supported by MQ JMS provider.

Explain the attribute CHANNEL in web sphere MQ.


A channel is a connection that is to establish a link between sending channel and receiving channel. A channel has a sender channel at the local queue manager and receiver channel at the remote queue manager. These two channels consist of same name, and together make one channel. The CHANNEL attribute is used with WebSphere MQ applications to specify the channels for receiving and sending messages in a file that defines sender and receiver channels.

Explain about web sphere MQ Real time transport.


It is a lightweight protocol. This protocol is optimized for use with messages that are non-persistent. WebSphere MQ Real Time Transport is utilized only by JMS clients. WebSphere MQ Real Time Transport is right suitable for the applications to send large number of messages. All the applications that use this protocol must rely on TCP/IP for quality considerations and which do not require persistent delivery. For example, this protocol can be used in situations where the data is updated very frequently, such as stock market share values, updating scoreboard of a sporting event.

Explain about web sphere MQ Real time transport.



WebSphere MQ Real-time Transport is a lightweight protocol optimized for use with nonpersistent messaging. It is used by JMS clients, and provides high levels of scalability and message throughput. WebSphere MQ Real-time Transport is ideal for applications where large numbers of messages need to be sent or where messages need to be sent to large numbers of client applications. The WebSphere MQ Real-time Transport does not provide any facilities for persistent messaging or durable subscriptions.
