WebSphere is a popular enterprise web server which is owned by IBM. It serves for java based web applications. Lot of large scale organizations are using WebSphere. Here, I am trying to explain the way of deploying a web application to the WebSphere web server. First of all we should create the project output file as .war/.jar. Old versions of WebSphere supports for classical file types such as war. So, let's imagine we have already created a war file (ex: MyApp.war) via the IDE for the deployment.
There are few deployment methods. Here, my selected method is deploying through WebSphere integrated admin console. Let's go on.
Open the WebSphere integrated admin console with providing relevant admin credentials.
After login to the system, You can see the main screen as follow.
In the navigation bar, expand Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications.
After clicking on "WebSphere enterprise applications" you can see the deployed Apps and it's status in right pane.
Here our target is to deploying a new war file (Web Application). To do this, You should click on the install button. Refer the above Screen 4. After that, You should browse the target war file that you wish to deploy. After browsing the file path, go next. Refer the screen 5.
Then, System throws few screens for asking some options as below. Provide the appropriate settings and go next step by step. Please refer Screen 6,7 and 8.
After completing the action, you can see the Application in the list as screen 4.
Now You have completed the application deployment operation. Before Starting the Application you should restart the WebSphere server. After restarting, go to "Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications " and start the application.
Cheers!!! :)
