Sounds like a plan. I'll get stuck into it and write up the experiences. I suspect that anybody who's conservative enough to be locked into WAS is probably not going to be too keen to hit up 6.0 for a little while. So I'll have a go at 5.5 for now, as at least I know the Tomcat build is pretty stable and should be a decent starting point. If I have time I'll apply the same steps to 6.0 and see where they diverge (if at all).

Any big differences between 5.5 and 6.0 that you can think of off-hand, which are likely to cause them to need different steps? I haven't had a look at the tech stack under 6.0 yet.

Now I'm going to have to brush off my WAS skills. My JEE bloatware app server experience is mostly with WebLogic. :)

Hi Stephen,

We're asked how to run Guvnor on WebSphere quite often... if you fancy taking a look we can blog your achievements and you can take your place in history ;)

Targeting 6.0 would add to the coolness - but might have less interest from others in the community.

Cheers,

Mike

I guess that most folks who are tied into the WebSphere stack probably just go with JRules rather than Drools. Although FICO is also thoroughly usable in that stack.

I'd probably recommend using Drools Expert within your application on WAS, and stick with running Guvnor on Tomcat, as it does't need to be part of a 'production' installation.

However … is there much interest in getting Guvnor up and running on alternative app servers such as WAS/WebLogic/Glassfish?

I intend to be unemployed for the next few weeks, and I was thinking of finding myself a little OS project to work on. :)

Drools Expert is just a Java library and should work on WebSphere as well as any other (to the best of my knowledge, but always happy to learn something new!)

Guvnor is really the issue as we do not have an off the shelf distribution targeting WAS (not that we wouldn't want to, but nobody in the community has been prepared to work out what is required).

IDK if RedHat Consulting would be able to advise on setting up Guvnor on WAS... but I'll forward this email to others who might know better.

RedHat's certified BRMS does not contain the most recent features.

With kind regards,

Mike
