WSO2 VMware Images helps you to try our products inside your virtualized environments without having to go through the trouble of installation and configuration. Download an image and get your hands on cutting edge, lightweight SOA middleware right away!

Download

Download the latest VMware image from here - http://wso2.com/cloud/virtual-machines/vmware/

Getting Started

Unzip the VMware image to the VMware image store. By default this is C:\Virtual Machines in Windows and /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines in Linux.
If you have installed VMware server on your machine, you can goto the web console by going into https://localhost:8333/ui. If you have installed VMware server on another machine please give the address of that machine instead of localhost.
After that, you can select the virtual machine from the inventory list and start it like any other machine.
When you're starting the machine, if you're asked whether the image was copied or moved, please select that "I _moved it" and click ok.

Administration Details

Every virtual machine is configured to use DHCP.
Once a machine boots up, the product that's bundled with it will be started automatically.
Product administration console can be accessed through https://<ip>:9443/carbon. Management console credentials,

username: admin
password: admin

If you want to configure the VMware instance,

username: ubuntu
password: ubuntu42

We strongly encourage you to change the default passwords immediately (password for the management console as well as the OS) once you've started the machine if you're hosting this on a VMware Server on a networked environment.
VMware images are shipped with Ubuntu Server 9.10 (64-bit) as the OS. You might need a 64-bit CPU supporting Intel VT/AMD-V extensions to install this as a guest OS inside VMware.
These are created and tested on VMware Server 2.0.1 - 156745.

Good luck for the project. Unfortunately, I don't know much about technology. But thanks for the sharing! free ads |part time jobs|latex mattress

Is there any documentation available for running the Virtual Machines on ESXi? I am able to deploy the machines and start them, and log in. However only 1 interface (the loopback) was available. According to the above tutorial, there is suppose to be an interface configured for DHCP that allows users to navigate in a browser to the administration page. Any ideas?

Here is a work around that allows you to get the interface up and running to connect to the administration pages for the various VM images on an ESXi server.

Basically you edit the interfaces configuration file and restart the interface

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
type i
change eth0 to eth1
press esc
type :wq

at the command line type
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

The VM download for ESB is no longer available, will it return?

Enterprises are inherently complex, comprising of hundreds of applications with completely different semantics. Some of these applications are custom built, where as some are acquired from third parties and some even can be a combination of both and they can be operating in different system environments.

WSO2 Governance Registry is a product from WSO2 that facilitates you to govern the SOA platform of your organization by helping you store and manage SOA meta data. The product is free and open source with Apache licence and you can download it from http://wso2.org/projects/governance-registry
