Deploying and administering enterprise applications

Deploying an enterprise application file consists of installing an application file on a server configured to hold installable Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) modules.

Before you begin

Before installing an enterprise application or other installable module on an application server, you must develop the module, assemble the module, and configure the target server . Before choosing a deployment target for the module, ensure that the target version is compatible with your module.

About this task

During installation, you can configure the module enough to enable it to run on the server. After installation, you can configure the module further, start or stop the application, and otherwise manage its activity.

The topics in this section describe how to deploy and administer applications or modules using the administrative console. You can also use scripting or administrative programs (JMX).
