QuickStart Instructions for Rocket PASSPORT WEB TO HOST
PASSPORT WEB TO HOST can be deployed on either a Windows IIS Server or any platform-independent Java Application Server,
such as IBM WebSphere. When deployed from a Java Application Server, PASSPORT WEB TO HOST is packaged as an Enterprise
Application Archive file (EAR) file and it must run out of an expanded directory structure on the Java Application Server. By packaging
PASSPORT WEB TO HOST in this way, we can support many different platforms and operating systems such as; UNIX, Linux, AIX, etc.
Different application servers have different functionality with regard to deployment and expanded directory structure.
Follow the QuickStart instructions for your web server:
- PASSPORT WEB TO HOST on Microsoft IIS
- PASSPORT WEB TO HOST on IBM WebSphere Application Server
On some Java application servers (such as IBM WebSphere), the deployment process expands the EAR/WAR file into a working
directory and from that point forward, the expanded directory is considered to be the application. For these application servers,
you deploy the compressed EAR/WAR file and work in the resulting directory structure.
- PASSPORT WEB TO HOST on BEA WebLogic Application Server
On other application servers (such as BEA WebLogic), the deployment process expands the EAR/WAR file into a temporary directory and (conceptually),
the compressed EAR/WAR file is still considered to be the application. For these application servers, you must expand the EAR/WAR
file manually and then deploy the expanded directory structure, which becomes your working directory.
