Re: WebSphere 5.0 Express Questions

Mike,
   
  I'm not aware of anything in Websphere that enables support for multiple 
environments (demo, test, production, etc.) within a single instance.
   
  What does it mean to support multiple environments within a single instance?  
To me it would mean that users may select an environment before clicking on a 
menu item, and that applications running withing that context might access 
different database libraries, different versions, etc.).
   
  It sounds like your vendor doesn't provide support for multiple environments, 
so the easiest thing for them to suggest is that you deploy their applications 
across multiple instances of Websphere.  You define, setup, and manage the 
environments by defining multiple instances of Websphere, database connections, 
etc.

  My vendor recommends running a seperate webserver and application for our
live and test systems. If possible, I would like to at least run only one
web server if not one application server as well. Is this possible? Or is it
best to run seperate web servers and application servers?
