As part of deploying an application, you install application files on a server configured to hold installable modules.

Before we can install the Java EE application files on an appserver, assemble modules as needed.

Also, before you install the files, configure the target appserver. As part of configuring the server, determine whether the application files can be installed to the deployment targets.

We can install the following modules on a server:

• Enterprise archive (EAR)
• Enterprise bean (EJB)
• WAR
• SIP module (SAR)
• Resource adapter (connector or RAR)
• Application client modules

Application client files can be installed in a WAS configuration but cannot be run on a server.

Complete the following steps to install your files.

1. Determine which method to use to install the application files. WAS ND v7.0 provides several ways to install modules.

2. Install the application files using
   • Administrative console
   • wsadmin scripts
   • Java administrative programs that use JMX APIs
   • Java programs that define a Java EE Deployment Manager object in accordance with Java EE Application Deployment spec (JSR-88)

3. 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 spec (JSR-88)

 

What to do next

Save the changes to the admin configuration.

When saving the configuration, synchronize the configuration with the nodes where the application is expected to run.

Next, test the application. For example, point a Web browser at the URL for a deployed application, typically...

http://hostname:9060/Web_module_name

...where hostname is the valid Web server and 9060 is the default port number) and examine the performance of the application. If the application does not perform as desired, edit the application configuration, then save and test it again.
