Configuring iASP on IBM WebSphere Application Server for the S/390

The following instructions show how to configure your WebSphere Application Server to run your ASP applications with iASP.

Before continuing, please make sure you have the following installed on your S/390 system:

  • JDK 1.1.6 or later (Click here to get it.)
  • Lotus Domino web server (Click here to get it.)
  • WebSphere 1.1

NOTE: The following instructions assume that iASP has been installed in the /usr/iasp directory. If you have it in a different directory, please be sure to make appropriate changes when you follow the steps below.

  1. Add the following lines to the httpd.conf file of the web server (usually located under /etc):

    # Route ASP request to WebSphere 
    Service /*.asp
    /path/to/WebSphere/AppServer/lib/libadpter.so:AdapterService
    # Make iASP samples accessible via virtual directory /iasp/
    Pass /iasp/* /usr/iasp/*
  1. In the jvm.properties file of WebSphere, add the appropriate class path for iASP to the ncf.jvm.classpath key. This entry should include all the files and directories you have under the /usr/iasp/lib folder:

    /usr/iasp/lib/iasplib.jar:/usr/iasp/lib/classes:/usr/iasp/lib/rjax.jar:/usr/iasp/lib/activation.jar: /usr/iasp/lib/mail.jar:/usr/iasp/lib/iasp_chart.jar:/usr/iasp/lib/iasp_image.jar: /usr/iasp/lib/iasp_exec.jar:/usr/iasp/lib/iasp_sock.jar:/usr/iasp/lib/iasp_mail.jar: /usr/iasp/lib/iasp_pop3.jar:/usr/iasp/lib/buttons.jar
  1. In the servlets.properties file of WebSphere, add the following lines:

    # ASP support
    servlet.iasp.code=Dispatcher.DispatcherServlet
  1. In the rules.properties file of WebSphere, add the following lines:

    # Map *.asp to iasp servlet
    *.asp=iasp
  1. Restart the web server and WebSphere.
  2. Verify that iASP is running correctly.
