Overview of WebSphere Application Server - Express for iSeries

WebSphere Application Server - Express for iSeries allows you to implement and manage server-side Java components. These Java components can add complex business logic and dynamic functions to static HTML Web pages.

WebSphere Application Server - Express consists of these components:

• The WebSphere Application Server - Express runtime environment, which is integrated with the iSeries server. The application server includes an administrative console application that needs to be installed and running before it can be used.
• The HTTP Server Administration interface, including online help text, that is part of the current i5/OS web-based administration console for the IBM HTTP Server product (5722-DG1), used for administering application servers and their applications.

The application server job runs applications designed for WebSphere Application Server - Express. The application server jobs run in the QASE5 subsystem.

The HTTP Server Administration interface is a Web-based interface that runs on any browser supported by WebSphere Application Server - Express. It provides tools that allow you to administer application servers, as well as their applications. For a list of the supported browsers, see Workstation prerequisites for installing and running WebSphere Application Server - Express.
