Products Included

IBM WebSphere Host Publisher V2.2 for AS/400 includes IBM WebSphere Application
Server and Standard Edition. All of the functions explained in the following sections are
included.
Host Publisher Studio
The Host Publisher Studio is a collection of task-oriented, easy-to-use graphical user
interfaces that assist the Web application builder in managing and creating Web-to-host
projects. It uses task-oriented prompts to guide the user through the creation process,
including:
• Recording host and database interactions
• Identifying desired data
• Labeling that data for retrieval
The Studio automatically generates a JavaBean, called an Integration Object, which
encapsulates the interactions and data retrieval. You can use the Studio to generate a fully
customizing HTML Web page for modeling interaction with the Integration Objects and
presenting the resulting data. The HTML Web page can be enhanced with Web authoring
tools such as, WebSphere Studio, to meet corporate guidelines on style and image. Once the
Web page is completed, you can publish it to a Host Publisher Server for production access
by end users.
The Host Publisher Studio is provided on a separate CD assembly and runs on Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows N,T and Windows 2000 operating systems.
Host Publisher Server
The Host Publisher Server provides the runtime environment for supporting Web applications
created with the Host Publisher Studio. Host Publisher is on a separate CD assembly and
works with the IBM WebSphere Standard Edition and other runtime components such as:
• Connection management
• License monitoring
• Run-time administration
• Log and trace management
