I have been spending quite a bit of time recently attempting to get QuickrJ2EE, or by its longer name Quickr Services for WebSphere Portal up and running. It has proved an interesting experience, not least of all because I am trying to plug it into a Portal 6.1 Express environment. One of the first things we found, is that when we tried to do an express install from the images we downloaded, it failed with an authority error. A nice Java dump was created, and it was not very clear what you needed.

After opening a PMR what we found is that you need optional image 8, which says it is the Edge Components. For those not aware edge is the load balancing software that can provide the load balancing support in front of your webservers. So why would you need to have the edge image there, when you are doing a standard express server install? If you look at the technote unless it has been updated it does not show you need image 8, but in reality don't leave home without it.
