Testing and deploying WebFacing applications

After you have created and converted a WebFacing project with the WebFacing Tool, you can test your WebFacing project before deploying it to an application server.

There is a WebSphere® Application Server included with the product and it is called the WebSphere test environment. See Testing WebFacing applications for more information on testing WebFacing applications.

After you have tested your WebFacing project, you will need to deploy it to an application server. WebSphere Application Server deployment involves three general tasks:
  1. Export your WebFacing project as an EAR or WAR file. An EAR file is a compressed Enterprise Application Archive. A WAR file is a Web application archive file.
  2. Use the WebSphere administration console to install the exported EAR file.
  3. Start the Web application
