What Do Developers Care About?

•  Common development tasks include:
fastest
•  Modify file within an application
•  Debug a problem in an application
Hourly •  Restart/redeploy application
•  Restart server
Daily •  Share code with team
•  Change app structure (add/remove a module/bundle) faster
•  Make config change
Weekly
•  Share config change with team
•  Reproduce problem from another environment
Monthly •  Upgrade to new service release
•  Create application
•  Install server fast

Time to complete
Frequency

•  All tasks should be as painless as possible, with special emphasis on the more
frequent ones. If the time taken to accomplish these tasks is an impediment to
the development, the cost of the fidelity of the test server runtime is challenged
•  These kind of capabilities reflect on the Application Server runtime as well as

WAS v8.5: Introduces the Lightweight “Liberty”
Profile – For Web, OSGi and Mobile Apps
A highly composable, dynamic Server profile
Dynamic Server Profile Developer First Focus
Not static like Web Profile – Simplified, shareable server config (like a
determines by app at a fine- dev. artifact). One XML file or several to
grained level simplify sharing & reuse of config

Incredibly fast: Small Download:
start times: < 5 secs < 50MB

Lightweight runtime Dynamic Runtime
Small memory footprint: Adding features & updating
WAS v8.5 configs does not require
(46MB for TradeLite)
Liberty Profile server restart

Integrated Tooling Integration with ND Job Mgr
Powerful tools. Simple Optionally manage server
Eclipse feature lifecycle through ND Job Mgr

Unzip Install & Deploy Popular Platforms Fidelity to full profile WAS
IM or unzip to install. Unzip Adds MAC OS for Same reliable containers & QOS
deploy of server + app + config development (easy migration from dev to ops)



No Hurdles to Install
•  Tools and runtime are free for development. No time limit
•  Eclipse feature install for tools; 40MB zip download for server profile.
–  Installation Manager also supported à same installed result.
•  2 minutes from “Nothing” to “Done”:
•  Install WAS Developer Tools for Eclipse Feature

• 

•  Use the Tools to download the WAS Liberty Profile
or download 40MB zip from WASdev.net

Simplified Server Configuration

•  Simplest case: One
XML file for all
server config
•  Editable within the
workspace
•  Exportable,
shareable,
versionable

No need for Admin Console, wsadmin,
or extended EARs
server.xml
X
resources.xml

etc.
