Still haven't had time to formalize these directions, so they are likely to
change once I get time to remove extraeous steps or correct things. :)
rief Preliminary Deployment Instructions for WAS 4.0
· Deploy Application
o Install WebSphere 4.0
o Once completed and system is restarted (if necessary): Start
the WebSphere service (startServer.bat on NT, probably startServer.sh on
Unix)
o After the server has started, log onto the web-based
Administration Console (http://localhost:9090/admin).
o Next, expand "Nodes" on the left.
o Click on Enterprise Applications
o Click on Install
o Browse to the file Deployed_app.ear that you created with
the AA tool.
o Select the file follow the steps the console takes you
through:
§ Click next on EJB deployment screen.
§ Click next on the Web Module deployment screen
(change your preference on pre-compiling if you so
desire).
§ On the next screen, allow WebSphere to redeploy
YourApp-ejb.jar by leaving the box checked and clicking
next. (ed: Not sure if this step is necessary)
§ Review the settings and click Finish when ready.
· Once finished, begin JDBC configuration. (for Oracle)
o Expand Resources in the left navigation area.
o Click "JDBC Drivers"

§ The Server Class Path is the location of
classes12.zip (Oracle's JDBC drivers) on the
server.
