Getting background information on Application Deployment
To install an enterprise application to a IBM® WebSphere® Application Server configuration, you can use the administrative console or the wsadmin tool. Before deploying any application into WebSphere Application Server, make sure the application (EAR/WAR) is a valid archive. You can test this by using an assembly tool such as the Application Assembly Tool Kit or Rational® Application Developer, or you can use the EARexpander tool to make sure the zip structure is fine.

For more information about Application Assembly, check the following WebSphere Application Server Information Center section Assembling Applications. The Application Assembly Tool Kit can be downloaded from IBM WebSphere Application Server support site. More information about the EARexpander tool can be found in the following section EARexpander command.

If the application deployed successfully, the following message will be displayed in the console:

Application xxxxxx.ear installed successfully

If any error messages display in the console, verify the SystemOut.log file in the following directory:
  • For WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0 and 6.1:

    profile_root/logs/server_name

  • For WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 and 5.1:

    install_root/logs/server_name
