Troubleshooting deployment

When you are having problems deploying an application, perform some basic diagnostics and verify your system configuration to solve the problem.

Before you begin

Try to install your application on a product server. Ensure that your application can be installed to the deployment target. For example, if your application contains modules that support Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 6 or use a Version 8.0 product feature or API, you must install the application to a Version 8.0 or later deployment target.

About this task

Determine which of the following steps apply to the deployment problem and read the suggested topics.

Procedure

  • If you cannot install the application, troubleshoot problems deploying applications.

    See the topics on application deployment problems and troubleshooting tips.

  • If you can install the application but it does not start, troubleshoot problems starting applications.

    See the topics on application deployment and startup problems.

  • If your application contains many classes with annotations and takes a long time to deploy, reduce annotation searches to speed up deployment.

    See the topic on reducing annotation searches during application deployment.

  • If you cannot uninstall the application, see the topic on application uninstallation problems.
