Re: Embedded WAS requires administrator privileges

[Brian Leathem <bleathem@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the response Daron,

Just to clarify, I am talking about installing WDSC/WAS to a workstation 
for development.  When installing WDSC, you are given the option to 
install WAS to use as a test environment, before deploying to 
production.  Is this how others are doing there testing/development?

Alternatively, we thought of using a WAS installation on an "i" for 
testing, but there are certain hooks between WDSC and the local WAS 
installation that are nice to have.  Such as start/stopping the server, 
and restarting the server in debug mode all from within WDSC.  If WDSC 
can be hooked into a WAS installation on the "i" in this way, we would 
be happy to go that route too.

Thanks,
Brian
