I have to write this down or I’ll forget. It’s not very simple nor intuitive to deploy a war package using Sun ONE Web Server 6.1; but it probably makes sense for experts. I don’t consider myself an expert, and I love quick links (that don’t exist in this web server)
So, I need to write down the steps to deploy a war file.
- Go to your web server admin port (for example: freedom.aycron.com:8888)
- Enter admin + password
- Select a server and click ‘Manage’
- Go to the Virtual Server Class tab
- Select a class and click ‘Manage’
- Select a Virtual Server and click ‘Manage’
- Go to the Web Applications tab
- Select ‘Local Machine’
- Find your war file in your local machine
- Enter the Application URI and click OK!
10 steps! Could it be any harder? I think it is an awesome tool, it’s super configurable but it’s not highly usable. I guess it’s supposed to be accessed by sysadmins and developers; and that’s the reason why it’s not highly usable.
