| Description |
|
WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 is an affordable, ready-to-go solution for developing, running, and managing dynamic Web sites and applications. Designed to meet the unique needs of small to mid-size companies, it combines the power and function of an industry-leading application server with easy-to-use development tools, integrated applications, wizards, and samples to help you get up and running quickly.
New and enhanced features make WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 a cost-effective starting point for SOA.
Simple, rapid development and deployment
WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 includes a set of rapid development and deployment features designed to boost productivity and help save precious time and resources. New features include:
- Enhanced tools. WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 includes a version of the core Application Server Toolkit (AST). The AST offers basic support for the creation of new applications targeting WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1. The AST gives you the tools necessary to develop and export JSR 168 portlets and JSR 116 SIP servlets, including wizards to create SIP servlets, a rich deployment descriptor editor, and import/export wizards to package and deploy SIP servlets. Support is also included for the rapid deployment feature, an easy mechanism to deploy applications to a running V6.1 server. New automation tools offer color-coded source display, command completion, configuration navigation, and syntax checking. Common administration tasks are also a part of these tools, allowing you to drag and drop tasks into a specific location in the script and have the automation command generated automatically at that point.
- IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server V6.1. Self-managing autonomic technology makes installation and deployment easy, reliable, and repeatable. By streamlining the up-and-running process to just one simple step, the Installation Factory can save you valuable time and enable you to become effective faster. New in this release, Installation Factory allows you to prepackage service stream levels and to include applications and their configurations. You now also generate cross-platform install packages, saving you time that can be used to focus on real business issues.
- JSF widget library is a set of prebuilt functions for use within Web user interfaces to help save you development time and expense. Add features like graphs, data grids, and calendar date pickers quickly, and with minimum effort, to make your Web user interfaces richer.
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 innovations introduce significant improvements in programmer productivity, application portability and performance. The industry specification for J2SE 5.0 (and the IBM implementation of it as JDK 5.0) provides programming efficiencies through enhancements in annotations, conversions, monitoring, and management. IBM innovations in the Virtual Machine enhance modularity, profiling, debugging, and serviceability while other key efficiencies are gained through compile- and run-time performance optimizations.
- Increased flexibility comes from deployment enhancements, such as installation by non-root/non-administrator users. Support is added for the portlet programming model JSR 168, which enables portlet applications to be portable across the WebSphere stack.
Secure, scalable, and affordable SOA run time
WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 provides a secure, scalable and reliable environment for your applications and services to execute in. IBM is committed to an open, standards-based approach, and WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 reflects this with an open architectural approach and support for a number of key new standards. Enhancements include:
- Out-of-the-box security. Default security configurations are now set out of the box for peace of mind right from the start. Single sign on support (SPNEGO) is offered, a default user registry is enabled out of the box for better identity management, and by default, a secure service integration bus enforces the use of secure transport protocols.
- Support for Web Services Interoperability Basic Security Profile and updates to Web services security ensure Web services interactions are secure.
- Rich J2EE implementations give developers an unparalleled development environment that can increase application programmer productivity They also improve portability across all JDK 5 platforms and deliver much faster performance than previous versions. This improved development environment continues to be surrounded by the industry-leading J2EE 1.4-compatible runtime environment from IBM.
- Support for the portlet programming model standard JSR 168 enables interoperability among portlets and portals. It can save development time by removing the need for portlets to be tailored to specific applications and portals.
- Outstanding performance and platform support. JDK 5 enables WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 to deliver substantial performance improvements. IBM also continues its commitment to the broadest platform support in the industry, providing the assurance that your applications can be built to run on the platform that most makes sense for your business.
Extensive communication services
With WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1, you can improve the flexibility of your business and increase return on investment by making application services more reusable and accessible to new users, in new ways. New in V6.1 are:
- Session Initiation Protocol servlet support. For a new communications experience, WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 supports SIP servlets. This standardized support for interactive user sessions involves real-time multimedia elements such as voice, video, instant messaging, and online games. You can use SIP to make your Web applications more interactive and to save valuable time and costs. For example, you could add a "click-to-call" button to your CRM application to remove some manual call center processes. When the button is clicked, the application uses its contact lists and can initiate a Voice over IP (VoIP) call to your client. SIP tooling is also provided in the Application Server Toolkit to help you build IP applications more easily.
- Powerful Web services. WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 supports new Web services standards to help you more securely extend your reach to new environments. The latest enhancements provide better application portability and control, as well as performance improvements due to faster parsing technology, SOAP/JMS enhancements, and changes to SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ).
- Web Services Business Activity (WS-BA) helps improve your control over interactions by providing a framework through which application code can be automatically invoked to logically "undo" work, in situations where a wider scope of work is deemed to have failed. This is particularly important where Web service requests span trust boundaries across departments and enterprises. For example, a process that books an entire vacation package may book a flight, car rental, and hotel from three separate vendors. If a suitable hotel cannot be booked, the flight booking and car rental could be undone without incurring penalties for cancellation.
- Web Services Interoperability Basic Security Profile (WS-I BSP) helps standardize the use of Web services security standards and technology in the development of interoperable Web services.
- Web Services Notification (WS-N) helps you to distribute information efficiently, using a standardized, event-driven approach. It can also help improve the interoperability between Java and non-Java environments.
- Service integration technology enhancements. WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 now provides a choice of message store types used by the messaging engine. You can store persistent data objects either in a database (data store) or a file system (file store). Using the new file store capability can help improve performance and ease configuration and management.
Effective application management
WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 delivers effective, easy-to-use management tools to help you minimize the costs of maintaining your environment. Focus resources on innovation, instead of maintenance with:
- Simplified administration. The new Console Command Assistant saves you time and money by automatically creating scripting commands for you. You can now manage the IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server from the administrative console, and you can also take advantage of easier security configurations and simplified database connectivity. The new stand-alone thin administration client offers increased flexibility for ISVs and customers who want to install an administrative client on remote machines with limited disk capacity, or to create their own custom WebSphere administration programs.
- Increased productivity and control. Additional flexibility and new options in systems management, administrative commands, messaging, and installation free up time for administrators and ensure more productive, less error-prone environments.
- IBM Support Assistant included with WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1. To help you minimize the business impact of any problem, IBM Support Assistant helps identify operational problems early and makes self-help and problem reporting more effective. The search component searches multiple IBM and other locations to lead you to the most pertinent support information. Support links provide quick access to appropriate resources, such as support pages and news groups; and the service component collects and adds the system data that IBM Support needs to analyze the software problem. Software problems can be resolved more quickly, and the business impact of any problem can be minimized.
- Help and guidance from a community of users and partners. The ecosystem surrounding applications and their respective application servers is constantly expanding and increasing in importance. IBM offers extensive WebSphere Application Server — Express education and documentation, as well as a skilled partner and user community to help you. WebSphere Application Server — Express V6.1 also offers tight integration across the IBM software portfolio and introduces additional serviceability and self-help enhancements.

Charge metrics definitions:
Value Unit: A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements which is based upon the quantity of a specific designated measurement used for a given program. Each program has a designated measurement. The most commonly used designated measurement is a processor core. However, for select programs, there are other designated measurements such as users, client devices, and messages. The number of Value Unit entitlements required for a program depends on how the program is deployed in your environment and must be obtained from a Value Unit table. You must obtain a PoE for the calculated number of Value Unit entitlements for your implementation. The Value Unit entitlements are specific to a program and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program.
Processor (Value Unit): A processor core is a functional unit within a computing device that interprets and executes instructions. A processor core consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more arithmetic or logic unit. With multicore technology, each core is considered a processor. Not all processor cores require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To calculate the number of Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the value unit table on the following Web site
With full capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired for the appropriate number of value units based on all activated processor cores available for use on the server.
WebSphere Application Server — Express Developer User: Except as specified otherwise in License Information, each PoE for the WebSphere Application Server — Express Developer User includes one unit test PoE. Your use of the components of the WebSphere Application Server — Express Developer User are limited to one unit test PoE in support of the components of the WebSphere Application Server — Express Developer User.

| IBM Electronic Services |
|
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put you on the road to higher systems availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that provides an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available on the IBM eServer® platform. These services provide the opportunity for greater system availability due to faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate but complementary elements: IBM Electronic Services news page and IBM Electronic Service Agent™.
Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent is no-additional charge software that resides on your IBM eServer system. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, customer-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent tracks system inventory, hardware error logs, and performance information. If the server is under a current IBM maintenance service agreement or within the IBM warranty period, the Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to provide proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems.
