Web services gateway - prerequisites and constraints

WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is not a stand-alone product for running enterprise applications. If you want to deploy the gateway you also need to install the base WebSphere Application Server product. Although it is not installed by default, a copy of the base WebSphere Application Server product is packaged with WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

The gateway is not fully integrated into the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment tooling:

For more information about these restrictions, see Completing the installation.

If you want to enable gateway-level security, you must do so before you install the gateway.

[Version 5.0.2]In the z/OS environment, the gateway technology preview only operates if the application server has exactly one servant process instance. However, you can still achieve load balancing as described in Scaling the Web services gateway using unlocked configuration deployment.

This version of the Web services gateway is also subject to the following constraints:

You might also find it useful to enable trace for all gateway components:

  1. Set the WebSphere Application Server trace string to com.ibm.wsgw.*=all=enabled
  2. Write trace, stdout and stderr for the application server to a well-known location.
For more information, see Setting up component trace (CTRACE).
