Help Needed : EAR Creation and Deployment Steps for WAS 6.0

[Priyadarshan Kelkar]

hi ,

I want to deploy my EAR file on WAS 6.0 server. Does anyone have any document that explains how to create the EAR file and how to deploy it on WAS 6.0 Server using Admin console ? I am using RAD 6.0 as IDE .

Thanks in advance.

From the RAD tool, you simply select File-->Export, and choose to export your app as an EAR file, and you EAR is created. There's a few steps, but they're fairly self-explanitory. You choose the project, and the location of where to export the EAR, and you're done.

Here are some WebSphere 5 tutorials on exporting an ear from IRAD (5) deploying an EAR, and even configuring the server. It's WebSphere 5, but the steps are pretty much identical on WebSphere 6 - the screens just change slightly. Just click on the Crazy Lock and Load Deploy link. It'll give you great insight.

I was going to redo all of these for WebSphere 6.1, but though why, seeing that WebSphere 7 would be out soon. I thought that like a year ago.

Good luck!
