#IBM WAS 9.0 Deployment

To deploy Webswing to WAS 9.0, follow these steps:

1. Unzip Webswing distribution to a temporary folder
2. In webswing.properties set property webswing.server.websocketUrl to ws://localhost:<port>, port should be the same as application server port
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 (select webswing-server.war from the temporary folder created before)
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=webapps/webswing-server.war
webswing.configFile=webswing/webswing.config
webswing.tempDirBase=webswing/tmp
webswing.rootDir=webswing

The standard evaluation distribution includes the Webswing Demo drop-in under webswing/apps/webswing-demo. Relative application paths in its configuration resolve from that installed drop-in folder.

In case of issues analyze the logfiles.
