6.2: Preparing to host applications
After the product is installed, the administrator needs to prepare the
administrative resources
and configurations necessary to support applications and their building blocks.
To configure the runtime and add the first application to it, do the following.
Remember that your configuration must match your file placement as described
in the article about installing files and setting classpaths.
- Start the administrative server.
- Start the administrative console.
- Verify that the resources for supporting an application exist. If this is not
the first application, and the existing resources satisfy the administrator, the
administrator can skip this step.
Use the topology tree view in the console to ensure that the
following resources exist:
- A virtual host
- An application server
- A servlet engine (for servlets or JSP files)
- A Web application (for servlets or JSP files)
- A container (for enterprise beans)
It is possible that the default resources are installed,
in which case no further action is required to complete this step.
If you do not see the necessary resources, do one of two things:
It is also possible to configure a new, custom virtual host.
- The application support is in place. Now configure new administrative
resources to represent the building blocks of the application:
- Associate the servlets and JSP files into a logical unit by
configuring a Web application
- For each enterprise bean in the application,
configure an enterprise bean resource, associating
it with the container you configured earlier.
- Configure an enterprise application.
It should contain the Web application and any enterprise beans.
- Verify that the following resources are running, allowing the application
to be served:
- The Web server
- The application server containing the application
- Any servlet engines or containers supporting the application
- The Web application
- The application
Checklist for preparing runtime support for applications
Here is a summary for preparing the runtime environment for applications.

an end-to-end procedure applied to a sample application, perform the
application and configuration deployment tutorial.
