Deploying a web application to Liberty
By deploying a helloworld.war application, you can learn how server configurations change in Liberty.
Before you begin
The helloworld.war application uses a simple servlet to display a message on your browser. You can create any other messages to be displayed. The coding of the application is not described within Liberty documents.
About this task
This example uses the helloworld.war application and can be accessed by using http://localhost:9090/helloworld. In this example, a Liberty server instance is created, and then its default HTTP port is changed to 9090, and then an application is deployed to it.
