Integrating with IBM WebSphere v.6

  2. In the administrative console, select Applications -> Install New Application from the options available in the left panel to initiate the application installation process.
     
  3. In the right panel, click Browse and select weborb.war located in the WebORB installation directory. Make sure to enter the context root name for the web application (it is weborb in this walkthrough as shown in the image below, but can be anything). Click Next to proceed to the next step.


     
  4. This step requires no changes to the default settings. Click Next to continue.

     
  5. Select the check box for the weborb.war module and click Next.
