#IBM WAS 9.0 Deployment

To deploy Webswing to WAS 9.0, follow these steps. The example below installs the distribution in /opt/webswing; use an absolute directory that is readable and writable by the WebSphere process on your system.

1. Unzip the Webswing distribution to /opt/webswing. Do not remove this directory after deploying the WAR because Webswing uses its configuration and runtime files.
2. In /opt/webswing/webswing.properties, set webswing.server.websocketUrl to the deployed Webswing context, for example ws://localhost:<port>/webswing-server. Replace the host, port, and context root if your WebSphere mapping differs.
3. Go to IBM WAS Console http://localhost:9060/ibm/console
4. Navigate in the menu to Applications>New Application>New Enterprise Application
5. Click Choose File and select /opt/webswing/webswing-server.war.
6. Next>Next>Next>Next>Next
7. Configure Webswing JVM Properties in location: Servers>Server Types>WebSphere application servers>server1>Server Infrastructure, Java and Process Management, Process Definition>Java Virtual Machine>Custom Properties similarly to following:

webswing.warLocation=/opt/webswing/webswing-server.war
webswing.configFile=/opt/webswing/webswing.config
webswing.tempDirBase=/opt/webswing/tmp
webswing.rootDir=/opt/webswing

The demo configuration in the webswing-examples-eval distribution uses relative application paths. Adjust those paths for the WebSphere working directory.

In case of issues analyze the logfiles.
