6.6.1.3.1: Installing applications with the Web console

During this task, you will install the application files (.ear, .jar, and .war) into the product directory structure.

Important: Users and groups defined in the application EAR file will be removed during application installation if they do not exist in the specified system registry.

To install an application:

  1. Expand the tree on the left side of the console to locate Nodes -> hostname -> Enterprise Applications.
  2. Click Enterprise Applications.

    The right side of the console will display the list of zero or more installed applications (as .ear files).

  3. Click the Install button displayed on the right side of the console, above the list of installed applications.
  4. Specify the location of the application or module, referring to the application property reference as needed to fill in the field values.

    • Use the first set of fields if the console and application files are on the same machine (whether or not the server is on that machine, too)
    • Use the second set of fields (including Remote Path...) if the application files already reside on the same machine as the server, and the console is being run from a remote machine.

    See the field help for further discussion of the remote file path.

  5. Click Next.
  6. Follow the instructions on the resulting task wizard. Depending on the components in your application, various panels will be displayed:

    As you complete the wizard and wait for the application to be installed, please be patient if the application you are installing contains EJB modules for which code must be generated for deployment. This step can take a while.

  7. Verify that the new application is displayed in the tree on the left side of the console. It should be located at Nodes -> hostname -> Enterprise Applications -> application_name where application_name is its name.
  8. Save your configuration.
  9. (Optional) To have the configuration take effect:

    1. Stop the server
    2. Start the server again.

If you installed an application while the server was running, please note that the newly installed application and its modules can be viewed in the list of installed Enterprise Applications, from which applications and their modules can be started, stopped, and restarted. However, the application and modules will remain in a "cannot be run" state until the server is stopped and started again.
