Deploying WebSocket applications
You can deploy your WebSocket application using WebSphere® Application Server.
Before you begin
Important: Applicable to Liberty, Liberty Core
When you
deploy on an Enterprise Archive (EAR) file, all projects defined in the EAR file are deployed. Procedure
- Deploy your WebSocket application to WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.5.4 and later.
- Package your WebSocket applications as part of a Web application Archive (WAR) file or as a Java Archive (JAR) file under the WEB-INF/lib directory. To decrease the time required for deployment, you can provide a ServerApplicationConfig implementation to skip the scanning of JAR files that are in the WEB-INF/lib directory and that do not have WebSocket applications.
