how to deploy a war (using Sun ONE Web Server 6.1)

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.

  1. Go to your web server admin port (for example: freedom.aycron.com:8888)
  2. Enter admin + password
  3. Select a server and click ‘Manage’
  4. Go to the Virtual Server Class tab
  5. Select a class and click ‘Manage’
  6. Select a Virtual Server and click ‘Manage’
  7. Go to the Web Applications tab
  8. Select ‘Local Machine’
  9. Find your war file in your local machine
  10. 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.
