Overview

Artifactory can run under IBM's WebSphere application server (this required specific adjustments in Artifactory in order to "play nicely" with WebSphere's own way of doing things).

Please note, that this is not an out-of-the-box  feature and requires minimal manual setup.
These instructions have been verified against WebSphere 6.1, but should work on WebSphere 7 as well.

Setup

 Before deploying Artifactory into WebSphere:

  1. Extract the artifactory.war file.
  2. Replace the standard web.xml file under %EXTRACTED_WAR_FOLDER%/WEB-INF with the WebSphere-specific web.xml from %ARTIFACTORY_HOME%/misc/websphere.
  3. Repackage (zip) the war file.
  4. Start WebSphere.
  5. Add the following webcontainer custom property and set it to 'true' (see: PK33090):
  6. Save the change and restart WebSphere.
  7. Deploy normally into WebSphere.

    Have you received any feedback from users / customers on WAS deployments of Artifactory 2.0 in a production setting yet? Of particular interest is whether Artifactory can run in a WAS Network Deployment (ND) cluster environment, to take advantage of that product configuration's inherent high availability load balancing and failover capabilities. Does Artifactory seamlessly handle concurrency, caching and locking operations in such an environment?

    Any input you can provide on this is of great interest to my company as we evaluate the product. Thank you.
