Setting up WebSphere CM v.7 with OpenLdap 2.4 on CentOS 6(final)

I’m going to describe this fairly succinctly so you can get up and running in as little time as possible. That being said you will probably need a small dose of luck as I’ve not experienced the same install of an IBM product the same way twice.

 

I also did the initial install on a VM using VMWare which came in handy as I had to nuke the VM a couple times getting over some hurdles. Additionally I did almost if not all the work from the Linux command line/Bash as root user.

 

I installed CentOS 6 64bit on my Mac as a VM (with GNOME). I previously had downloaded the various parts and pieces that make up the WebSphere 7 installer and manually combined them together from the ZIP’s and TAR’s provided (yes the parts came in two different compression formats). I downloaded this from the IBM PartnerWorld site so your experience may vary depending on where you get the software.

Connecting OpenLdap to Websphere Portal 6.1.5 (with WCM) - Windows

This is doing a very minimal setup, just to get it working so you can tweak whatever you need. Hopefully following this you will at least have a working basic connection/authentication system working. Going to assume a fair amount of knowledge of LDAP.

The ins and outs of configuring Websphere Portal 6.1.5 with OpenLdap are too numerous to count. My experience has been that there are about 4-5 ways of doing the same thing and in the end there is only really 1 way of doing it successfully. I am only going to document the correct way since my adventure will not be the same as yours and chances are you will still have to do some discovering even if you follow this exactly.

Clearing Spring form fields in a JSP within a Spring Webflow

This blog post concerns the issues I came across attempting to clear two drop downs and a text field in a JSP that itself was a view inside a Spring Webflow (v.2.x).

The layout of the JSP is here: http://gomockingbird.com/mockingbird/index.html?project=559efee20fb22b4a077b4e6652c36f8f54376621

Essentially what my terrible drawing is showing is a list of items and below that list of items three drop downs that when selected, and the save button is clicked, will populate another row in the list. The reason for being inside a Webflow is that this particular problem was part of an enhancement to an existing Webflow.

Spring JSP for checkbox tag

The need arose at my client recently to add a checkbox to an existing JSP. The checkbox had to be defaulted to checked. Actually I had asked whether the checkbox should be defaulted to checked. This was a proud moment for me. It is not often that I have been presented with such an easy request, with good requirements around it. A checkbox is a single line of HTML code: 

 

<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike" />

 

and to default the box to checked it can look something like this:

 

<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="true" checked="true"/>
