Getting started with ObjectGrid by running the sample application

Use this topic to get started with ObjectGrid, a distributed computing framework that makes objects available to a set of applications.

Before you begin

WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0 or later and WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.2 or later must be installed on at least one machine in your environment.
[Version 6.0 only] Restriction: If you are using ObjectGrid with WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0, additional licensing arrangements are required to also use ObjectGrid in a Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) Version 1.4.2 or higher environment or in a WebSphere Application Server Version 6.02 or higher environment. Contact your sales representative for details.

If you want to develop ObjectGrid applications without accessing server machines that have WebSphere Extended Deployment installed, you can run them on your local machine. The local machine requires the installation of an IBM Software Developer Kit (SDK) or Eclipse.

[Version 6.0.1 and later] To develop ObjectGrid applications on your local machine, copy the following directories from your installation to your local machine:
  • If you are using WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.1, copy the /lib/wsobjectgrid.jar file and the /optionalLibraries/ObjectGrid/objectgridSamples.jar file to your working directory.
  • If you installed ObjectGrid through the mixed server environment installation, copy the /ObjectGrid/lib/objectgrid.jar and the /ObjectGrid/samples/objectgridSamples.jar files to your working directory.
For more information about the Java archive (JAR) files that are installed with ObjectGrid, see ObjectGrid packaging.
