Websphere integration

Guest · December 11, 2005, 5:48pm

I want to integrate websphere portal with webMethods.
Is there any adapter available ?
I want to display data in websphere portal the which I retrive from legacy applications (Mainframe,…etc). We are using Websphere Application Server 5.x .Is this possible without webservices.
or using IBM WBI is a good option ?

Assuming you’re talking about Integration Server (“webMethods” is a company that makes several products) you can approach this in a couple of ways:

HTTP post/get to IS services from WS Portal.
Use IS client.jar and API within WS Portal to interact more directly with IS at the Java source level.

Thanks Yes I am referring to webMethods IS(Integraton Server).
Is there any documentation around the 2nd approach on advantage

Review Chapter 14 of the Developer User’s Guide. You can also generate client code using Developer.

FWIW, I’d recommend option 1, not 2.

I am getting following error in JSP
while instantiating a java client class which in turn calls integration server service.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/entrust/toolkit/security/provider/Entrust

I have added the entrust and client.jar in the lib directory and the classpath of tomcat

Any ideas ?
