What are the advantages of using authentication alias in data sources?
authentication,encryption,encoding,datasource,websphere-liberty
WebSphere Liberty uses an adapter to manage it's database connections. By specifying an authentication alias the password used by the adapter will be encrypted. If you do not use an auth alias, the userID and password will get stored without encryption on adapter properties. Additionally, aliases provide another layer of...
Importing External JAR to Websphere Liberty? [NoClassDefFoundError]
eclipse,java-ee,websphere,websphere-liberty
You also need a <classloader> element in your application definition in the server.xml, which references the shared library. For example, <application id="myapp" name="My App" type="war" location="somewhere.war"> <classloader commonLibraryRef="ExternalLibs" /> </application> Alternatively, if your application is the only user of the library, you could package it in the WEB-INF/lib folder of...
Connect Eclipse to Websphere Liberty in another computer
java,eclipse,websphere-liberty
How do you have your server.xml configured? Given the error you mention, I think it's missing the configuration for writing into the remote directories, which looks something like this: <remoteFileAccess> <writeDir>${writePath}</writeDir> </remoteFileAccess> You can define several write directories and each one can refer to variables or absolute paths, for example:...
Dandelion datatables not working on Liberty profile
Found the issue in the ResourceScanner class. Websphere application servers use a jar naming convention of wsjar. I created a fix here https://github.com/ohiocowboy/dandelion/tree/feat/liberty
Specify user handlers for JAX-RS when using annotation scanning
rest,annotations,websphere-liberty,apache-wink
I am afraid you can only define this via web.xml file. This is also the way WINk supported. In your case, even if you have @ApplicationPath("rest") defined,you can also have a web.xml.
websphere liberty - Force https for site without user authentication
Add <basicRegistry></basicRegistry> to your server.xml. It will not be used by your application since your security-constraint doesn't define any auth-constraint. Regarding your other comment: This might be a result of server trying to interpret your basic auth header and not finding user in the registry. However, if you are using...

WebSphere Liberty profile and subversion source control
Setting up the tools to understand a server with a different usr directory is possible (being able to keep the Liberty configuration source-controlled is really useful). Assuming you already have a runtime environment set up for the Liberty server, open your preferences and navigate to Servers->Runtime Environments. Edit the server...
Is Websphere Liberty Profile 8.5.5 compatible with Java EE 5?
The Java EE 5 compatibility list shows only servers implementing full profile. WebSphere Liberty currently implements web profile, so cant be listed there. Can I assume that if an implementation supports EE 6 then it also supports all previous EE versions? No, for example Liberty doesn't support EJB 2.x, which...
Remote Debugging Fails with IntelliJ but works with Eclipse?

I've tested the following build file on ant 1.7.1 and it works fine. I'm getting your error, if I remove wlp-anttasks.jar from ant\lib folder. So double check, if the file is there and is readable - correct permissions? Maybe you are running build from different user? Or maybe you don't...
Can I extend WebSphere Liberty buildpack?
The Liberty buildpack you find on GitHub should be pretty similar to the one Bluemix uses especially in terms of features. Beta features are included and auto-configuration should work so in theory if you do cf push appName -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/ibm-websphere-liberty-buildpack.git -p myapp.war it should work the same way if you...

Is it possible to stop an MDB from receiving messages in Liberty Profile?
jms,websphere-liberty,message-driven-bean
There isn't a direct equivalent, but you can change the server xml so the activation specification binding no longer matches. When the server picks up the new configuration, which is dynamic by default, the binding won't match and the mdb will stop.
In WebSphere Liberty Profile, can I access variables defined in server.xml programmatically?
It is possible, but only via an SPI (meaning only in a user or product extension, not in an application). https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/SSD28V_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.javadoc.liberty.doc/com.ibm.websphere.appserver.spi.kernel.service_1.1.0-javadoc/com/ibm/wsspi/kernel/service/location/VariableRegistry.html The VariableRegistry will be a discoverable OSGi Service (choose your favorite discovery mechanism, I recommend DS)....
liberty profile configuration issue (log4j2)
java,log4j2,jvm-arguments,websphere-liberty

Configuring log4jdbc-log4j2 with Liberty Profile
java,db2,log4j2,websphere-liberty,log4jdbc
For a WebSphere Liberty server, all of the global server config is done in the server.xml file (located by defualt at WLP_INSTALL/usr/servers//server.xml). You will probably want something along these lines in your server.xml: <dataSource id="myDataSource" jndiname="jdbc/myDataSource" type="javax.sql.DataSource"> <jdbcDriver javax.sql.DataSource="net.sf.log4jdbc.sql.jdbcapi.DataSourceSpy"> <library> <fileset dir="C:/path/to/libs" includes="thedb2jar.jar log4j.jar" /> </library> </jdbcDriver> <properties...

My initial "smell" of the problem is that sometimes your VPN connection with LDAP is very slow or your LDAP server is taking too long to respond. My suggestion is that you try using WAIT(wait.ibm.com), it's a non invasive easy to use diagnostic tool, to further investigate. If you find...

Applying Security Constraints Liberty for Java

Reading properties file from server location
"WEB-INF/classes" is part of your classpath. You can continue to read files as you do, by adding another folder to the classpath of the server. In that folder you would have the configuration files.

IBM WAS Liberty Network Deployment : Is free or license is required
Just to clarify a few things. WebSphere Liberty is free for development purposes.

Where does WebSphere Liberty Profile Extract Applications?
Liberty profile does not currently extract the .war anywhere. It does extract nested JARs for the purposes of class loading to an internal directory (servers/yourServer/workarea/.../somewhere/); the specific directory will vary and the presence/contents shouldn't be relied upon. I thought of this directory for your other question, but I didn't mention...

WebSphere Liberty Core throwing java.io.IOException: Stream is closed
Found the reason. There's a bug in Spring Web 3.1.x where it attempts to close the stream twice. The bug was fixed in Spring Web 3.2.x. Most application servers will not log an error in this situation (as it's actually completely harmless), but WebSphere Liberty freaks out.
Difference between ibm web sphere liberty profile and ibm web sphere liberty core

For WebSphere Liberty Profile, backslash character inside bootstrap.properties file
Liberty will perform path normalization on all variables unless the attribute is defined as a password type. The only way to get around this currently would be to include the backslash character in server.xml rather than bootstrap.properties. For example, in server.xml: <jndiEntry value="${var1}\${var2}" jndiName="jndi/var1" id="var1"> bootstrap.properties: var1=AB var2=BC ...
