Integrating Remote Logi JReport Server with IBM WebSphere 8.5.3.3 by a WAR File

Here is an example illustrating the case of using JSPs based on Remote Server APIs to integrate with IBM WebSphere 8.5.3.3.

It is assumed that:

• WebSphere 8.5.3.3 is installed in C:\WebSphere in computer A.
• Logi JReport Server is installed in C:\Logi JReport\Server in computer B. The computer IP is 127.0.0.1.

Take the following steps to integrate remote Logi JReport Server with IBM WebSphere:

1. Generate a WAR file.
2. Configure Logi JReport Server.
3. Deploy the WAR file.

Below show the details for each step:

Generating the WAR file

1. In computer B, use the tool makewar.bat to build the Logi JReport Server WAR file as defined by makewar.xml for remote integration. Both makewar.bat and makewar.xml are located in C:\Logi JReport\Server\bin. Run the following commands in DOS window and the generated WAR file remote.war will be saved to the directory C:\Logi JReport\Server\bin\distribute.

   makewar.bat buildRemoteWar -Djrs.remote.host=127.0.0.1 -Djrs.remote.rmiport=1129 -Djrs.rmi.auth_file=C:\Logi JReport\Server\bin\rmi.auth

2. Copy the rmi.auth file from C:\Logi JReport\Server\bin in computer B to C:\Logi JReport\Server\bin in computer A.

Configuring Logi JReport Server

1. Make sure Logi JReport Server has been started once so that the server.properties file is generated.
2. Change server.properties file in C:\Logi JReport\Server\bin as follows:

   server.rmiserver.enable=true
server.rmiadminservice.enable=true

Deploying the WAR File

1. In computer A, start IBM WebSphere.
2. In computer B, access the WebSphere Administrative Console by using the URL: http://hostname:9060/ibm/console, where the hostname is computer A's host name or IP address, and 9060 is the port number.
3. After successfully log in, expand the Applications node, select Application Types and then Websphere enterprise applications.
4. Select Install.
5. Select Browse to select the remote.war file, and then select Next.
6. Keep selecting Next until you see the requirement for specifying context root.
7. In the Context Root field, type a context path such as /remote/, then select Next.
8. Select Finish on the Summary page. The installing process may take several minutes, wait until the process is completed.
9. Select Save.
10. Select remote.war and then select Start.
11. Access Logi JReport Server using the following URL:

    http://hostname:9080/remote/jinfonet/default.jsp

    Here the hostname is computer A's host name or IP address.
