To deploy a web application

  1. On the Deploy Enterprise Applications/Modules page, specify the location of the WAR file to deploy.

    The server machine is the host that is running the application server domain administration server. The client machine is the host on which you are viewing the Admin Console through a browser.

  2. Specify the following settings for the application:
    1. In the Application Name field, retain the default name, which is the prefix of the file name, or type another name.

      The default name appears if you chose to upload a file. The application name must be unique.

    2. In the Context Root field, enter a string that identifies the Web application.

      In the URL of the Web application, the context root immediately follows the port number (http://host:port/context-root/...). Make sure that the context root starts with a forward slash, for example: /hello.

    3. In the Virtual Servers field, identify the desired virtual server.

      To view the available virtual servers, select Configuration —> HTTP Servicce —>Virtual Servers in the navigation tree.

    4. In the Status field, by default, an application is available as soon as it is deployed. To disable the application so that is unavailable after Deploy Enterprise Applications/Modules page, uncheck the Enabled checkbox.
    5. In the Run field, to verify the structure and contents of the file before Deploy Enterprise Applications/Modules page, select the Verifier checkbox.

      Verification of large applications can be time-consuming. Verify the file if you suspect it is corrupt or non-portable.

    6. In the Precompile field, select the JSPs checkbox to precompile JSP pages. If you do not select this checkbox, the JSP pages are compiled at runtime when they are first accessed.

      Because compilation is often time-consuming, in a production environment select this checkbox.

    7. In the Libraries field, list any library (JAR) files required by the application.
    8. In the Description field, provide a meaningful description of the component.
  3. Click OK to deploy the application.
