Deploy and administer J2EE applications
Overview
Deploying a J2EE application file consists of installing the application file on a server configured to hold installable J2EE modules. Before installing an enterprise application or other installable module on an appserver, ...
- Develop the module
- Assemble the module
- Configure the target server or cluster
Before choosing a deployment target for the module, ensure that the target version is compatible with your module.
During installation, you can configure the module enough to enable it to run on the server. After installation, you can configure the module further, start or stop the application, and otherwise manage its activity.
The topics in this section describe how to deploy and administer applications or modules using the console. You can also use scripting or administrative programs (JMX).
Procedure
- Install J2EE application files on an appserver.
- Edit the administrative configuration for an application.
- View the deployment descriptor for an application or module.
- Start and stop the J2EE application
- Export J2EE applications
- Export DDL files
- Update a J2EE application or module
- Uninstall J2EE applications
- Remove a file from a J2EE application or module.
What to do next
If a changed application or module is deployed on a cluster, click Rollout Update on the Enterprise Applications page to propagate the changed configuration on all cluster members of the cluster on which the application or module is deployed. Rollout Update sequentially updates the configuration on the nodes that contain cluster members.
Use Rollout Update if the application is deployed on one or more clusters spread across multiple nodes. This action reduces the amount of time that any single cluster member is unavailable to serve requests to the smallest interval possible. Pending IIOP transactions will complete before a cluster member stops; in-flight HTTP and JMS transactions might be lost while the cluster member is stopping. If the console session times out during a rollout updating, ensure that the changed configuration was propagated to each node. For an appserver without clusters, use Update and then save and synchronize the node instead. For a standalone appserver, simply update and save.
After making changes to administrative configurations of your applications in the console, ensure that you save the changes.
