[Version 5.0.2 and later]Using Web applications

Why and when to perform this task

A developer creates the files comprising a Web application, and then assembles the Web application components into a Web module. Next, the deployer (typically the developer in a unit-testing environment or the administrator in a production environment) installs the Web application on the server.

Steps for this task

  1. (Optional) Migrate existing Web applications to run in the new version of WebSphere.
  2. Design the Web application and develop its code artifacts: Servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, and static files, as for example, images and Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) files.
    See the "Resources for learning" article for links to design documentation.
  3. (Optional) Implement JavaScript within JSP tags using the Bean Scripting Framework (BSF).
  4. Develop the Web application, using WebSphere Application Server extensions to enhance its functionality.
  5. Assemble the Web application into a Web module using the.
    Web module assembly properties might include the ability to:
    • Configure servlet page lists.
    • Configure servlet filters.
    • Serve servlets by class name.
    • Enable file serving.
  6. Deploy the Web module or application module that contains the Web application.

    Following deployment, you might find it handy to use the tool that enables batch compiling of the JSP files for quicker initial response times.

  7. (Optional) Troubleshoot your Web application.
  8. (Optional) Modify the default Web container configuration in the application server in which you deployed the Web module or application module containing the Web application.
  9. (Optional) Manage the deployed Web application.
