If you have not already done so, read through the instructions for building the codebase first.

Download the following free for developers or trial versions of WebSphere software

WebSphere Liberty 8.5.5.6

• Download link: https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/liberty-profile-using-non-eclipse-environments

• For the rest of these instructions we will assume this to be the WLP_SERVERDIR Windows:

set WLP_SERVERDIR=C:\work\java\wlp

Linux:

export WLP_SERVERDIR=~/work/java/wlp

Create the WebSphere Liberty server and then deploy the application

Windows:

cd %WLP_SERVERDIR%
bin\server create server1

Linux:

cd $WLP_SERVERDIR
bin/server create server1

• Copy the web application you previously built Windows:

copy %ACMEAIR_SRCDIR%\acmeair-webapp\build\libs\acmeair-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war %WLP_SERVERDIR%\usr\servers\server1\dropins\.

Linux:

cp $ACMEAIR_SRCDIR/acmeair-webapp/build/libs/acmeair-webapp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.war $WLP_SERVERDIR/usr/servers/server1/dropins/

Choose a Data Service

The Acme Air sample application is able to utilize several types of data services. Choose one of the following -

• WebSphere eXtreme Scale
• MongoDB

Start the WebSphere Liberty server

• Start the WebSphere Liberty server Windows:

cd %WLP_SERVERDIR%
bin\server start server1

Linux:

cd $WLP_SERVERDIR
bin/server start server1

Look at the application

• Load the following url:

http://localhost:9080/acmeair-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT

Now we will load sample data using the web loader

Click on the "configure the Acme Air environment." link at the bottom of the page, or alternatively go to

http://localhost:9080/acmeair-webapp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/loader.html

You can change the value for how many customers you wish to have loaded. The default of 200 customer to load will be displayed.

• After clicking on the "Load the Database" button you should see output that indicates flights and customers (200) were loaded.

You will now be able to log in, click on the "Acme Air Home" link at either the top or bottom of the page to return to the welcome page.

• Login (use the provided credentials), search for flights (suggest today between Paris and New York), book the flights, use the checkin link to cancel the bookings one at a time, view your account profile
