Deploy Web services

You can use either the HTTP Server Administration interface, the administrative console or the wsadmin scripting interface to deploy a J2EE Web service.

Note: If the Web services in the application is previously deployed with the wsdeploy command, it is not necessary to specify Web services deployment during installation.

Use the HTTP Server Administration interface

To deploy the Web services-enabled application with the HTTP Server Administration interfaces, follow the installation process in Deploy and start a new application.

Use the administrative console

To deploy the Web services-enabled application with the administrative console, follow the installation process in Install and uninstall applications with the WebSphere administrative console. In step 1 of the Install New Application wizard, select Deploy WebServices.

Use wsadmin

To deploy the EAR file with wsadmin, follow these steps:

  1. Start wsadmin.
  2. At the wsadmin prompt, run the $AdminApp install command. You must specify the -deployws parameter. In this example, myWSApp is the name of the Web services-enabled EAR file:
    $AdminApp install myWSApp "-usedefaultbindings -deployws"
