Use a script to get up and running quickly with WS-Notification

Use a jython script to configure the necessary resources to get up and running quickly with WS-Notification in WAS. The example script provided in this topic is intended for development use on a single server only, and not for use in production or network deployment environments.

We can use the example script to configure a default set of resources that enable you to connect WS-Notification applications for development purposes. When executed, the script takes the following actions:

  1. It searches in the configuration for an existing service integration bus, and creates one if necessary.
  2. It searches for an existing bus member, and if one is not found it adds the (stand-alone) server to the bus, and uses the default data source.
  3. It searches for an existing service integration bus topic space destination, and creates one if necessary.
  4. It creates a v6.1 or v7.0 WS-Notification service.
  5. It creates a v6.1 or v7.0 WS-Notification service point on the local server for a SOAP over HTTP binding.
  6. It creates a WS-Notification permanent topic namespace to reference the service integration bus topic space that was found or created in step 3.
  7. It saves the configuration, and describes where to find the WSDL for the new notification broker web service that has been exposed.

To use the example script...


Procedure

  1. Save the script to the file system and use a name of your choice (for example wsnQuickStart.py).
  2. Modify the hostRoot variable defined at the top of the script to point to the HTTP port of the local server (usually 9080).

  3. Install and configure the SDO repository.

  4. Start the server, then execute the following command. If you saved the script with a name other than wsnQuickStart.py, then use that name instead.
    wsadmin -f wsnQuickStart.py
    


Example

Here is the example script:
#######################################################################################
# WS-Notification QuickStart script




      #
#                                                                                     #
# This Jython script will quickly create the basic resources required in order to
    #
# start using WS-Notification in WAS v6.1 or later    #
#                                                                                     #
# Before executing it modify the variables defined below to match your
      #
# configuration settings.                                                             #
#                                                                                     #
# Note:                                                                               #
#    - This script is not intended for production use, and is intended for use on
    #
#      a stand-alone server (not network deployment) only.                             #
#    - The script will search the configuration for an existing bus, and if one is    #
#      not found then a new bus will be created



   #
#    - It will then look for an existing Bus Member on the chosen bus. If one is not  #
#      found then one will be created using the default File Store

  #
#    - It will then look for an existing service integration bus topic space. If one  #
#      is not found then it will create one.                                          #
#                                                                                     #
