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 |
