Description

The wlp cookbook installs and configures the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile. It provides recipes, resources, and libraries for creating, managing, and configuring Liberty profile server instances.

Basic configuration

The wlp cookbook can install the Liberty profile from jar archive files or a zip file. The installation method is configured via the node[:wlp][:install_method] attribute.

jar installation

The node[:wlp][:archive][:version_yaml] attribute provides the location of a Yaml file which lists the URLs of the jar archive file for the latest release and latest beta. By default the latest release is installed. To install the latest beta, set the node[:wlp][:archive][:use_beta] attribute to true.

The node[:wlp][:archive][:runtime][:url] attribute, when set, overrides the location from the Yaml file. Setting it also causes the node[:wlp][:archive][:extended][:url] and node[:wlp][:archive][:extras][:url] to be used.

For more information on these options, see the attributes section later in this readme. You must also set the node[:wlp][:archive][:accept_license] attribute to true if you agree and accept the license terms of the Liberty profile software. The jar installation fails if node[:wlp][:archive][:accept_license] is not set to true.

By default the cookbook is configured to use the jar installation method. The archive options are already configured with values based on developer licensed Liberty profile.

The no-fee developer licensed Liberty profile jar archive files can be downloaded from Liberty download page on WASdev site. The production licensed Liberty profile jar archive files can be obtained from IBM Passport Advantage.

zip installation

When the zip installation method is used, only the node[:wlp][:zip][:url] attribute must be set to specify the location of the zip file. The zip file is assumed to be generated by running the ./bin/server package Liberty command with the --include=all or --include=minify option.

Requirements

Recipes

• wlp::default - Installs WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile.
• wlp::serverconfig - Creates a Liberty profile server instance for each node[:wlp][:servers][<server_name>] definition.

wlp::default

eatureManager" => {
"feature" => [ "jsp-2.2" ]

ttpEndpoint" => {
