As part of deploying an application, you install application
files on a server configured to hold installable modules.
Before you begin
Before you can install your Java™ Platform,
Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application files on an application server,
you must assemble modules as needed.
Also, before you install the
files, configure the target application server. As part of configuring
the server, determine whether your application files can be installed
to your deployment targets.
About this task
You can install the following enterprise modules on a server:
- Enterprise archive (EAR)
- Enterprise bean (EJB)
- Web archive (WAR)
- Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) module (SAR)
- Resource adapter (connector or RAR)
- Application client modules
Application client files can be installed in a WebSphere® Application Server configuration
but cannot be run on a server.
Complete the following steps
to install your files.
Procedure
- Determine which method to use to install your application
files. The product provides several ways to install modules.
- Install the application files using
- Administrative console
- wsadmin scripts
- Java administrative programs that use Java Management Extensions
(JMX) application programming interfaces (APIs)
- Java programs that define
a Java EE DeploymentManager object in accordance with Java EE Application
Deployment specification (JSR-88)
- Start the deployed application files using
- Administrative console
- wsadmin startApplication
- Java programs that use ApplicationManager or AppManagement MBeans
- Java programs that define a
Java EE DeploymentManager object in accordance with Java EE Application
Deployment specification (JSR-88)
What to do next
Save the changes to your administrative configuration.
Next, test the application. For example, point a Web
browser at the URL for a deployed application. Typically, the URL
is http://hostname:9060/Web_module_name,
where hostname is your valid Web server and 9060
is the default port number. Examine the performance of the application.
If the application does not perform as desired, edit the application
configuration, then save and test it again.
