From within the WebSphere® Virtual
Enterprise administrative
console, you can install managed WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition Version 2.0 applications to servers and dynamic clusters.
Before you begin
- Create a WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition deployment target by creating a complete life cycle WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition server or dynamic cluster. Verify that you can start the deployment
targets. See Creating complete life-cycle WebSphere Application
Server
Community Edition servers
and dynamic clusters
for
more information.
- Prepare your WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition application to be deployed. The application consists of an
archive file and an external deployment plan, which are both deployed
to the WebSphere Application Server Community Edition server.
Important: With managed WebSphere Application
Server Community Edition applications, you must complete all deployment
actions from within the WebSphere Virtual
Enterprise administrative
console only. Use the WebSphere Application Server Community Edition
console only for functions that are not supported by the product.
About this task
Deploy a WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition application to experience the same qualities of
service that WebSphere Virtual
Enterprise provides
for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5) applications and
PHP applications.
Procedure
- Open the WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition application wizard. In the administrative
console, click Applications > Install new middleware application.
Select WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition as the application type, and click Next.
- Specify either the local or remote location of the application
archive file and external deployment plan, and click Next.
- Specify the name, edition, and edition description of the
application. The application name must be unique among
all of the applications that are deployed in the cell, including applications
that are other types, such as Java EE 5 or unmanaged Web applications.
- Select the servers and clusters on which the application
runs by selecting the deployment targets. You can filter
the list of deployment targets by only clusters, only servers, or
by entering a name. Click Add or Remove to specify which
servers and clusters run the application.
- Specify the location of the virtual host for the Web modules.
- Review the confirmation details of the WebSphere Application
Server Community Edition application, and save the changes.
- Start the application. The application displays
as started in the administrative console when the middleware server
on which the application is deployed starts. To start middleware servers
from the administrative console, see Configuring middleware server operations
.
Attention: If the server or middleware
agent stops, the application might still show as started or partially
deployed in the administrative console.
Results
Your WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition application runs on the defined deployment targets.
What to do next
Define service policies and routing policies for the application.
All application edition manager functions are available.
