This article provides instructions for deploying WebORB into a Java Application Server. WebORB is registered as a servlet, as a result, the container must support the Servlet API v2.3 or above. There are two ways to deploy WebORB:

1. WebORB can be deployed as a new web application. This deployment provides a separate web application with all the WebORB functionality available out of the box. User classes must be deployed into the application to enable them for remote access. WebORB distribution includes weborb.war and weborb.ear files. Most Java containers support automatic application deployment from the war or ear file. Use the links below for instructions specific to a particular container:
    

   	Deploying WebORB into Tomcat
   	Deploying WebORB into JBoss
   	Deploying WebORB into WebSphere
   	Deploying WebORB into WebLogic

2. WebORB can be deployed into an existing web application. This requires additional configuration steps to register product servlets and add WebORB configuration and binary files. As soon as WebORB is deployed, application classes are automatically available to Flex, Flash and AJAX clients.
    

   	Minimal deployment  (just POJO remoting)
   	Management console deployment
   	Spring Framework integration deployment

Follow the steps below to deploy the product into an existing web application:

Minimal deployment
(only POJO remoting, no console, examples, data management, spring support, etc)

1. Copy weborb-config.xml from:
     [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp\WEB-INF\classes
   to
     [YOUR APP PATH]\WEB-INF\classes
    
2. Copy weborb.jar from:
     [WEBORB_INSTALL]
   to
     [YOUR APP PATH]\WEB-INF\lib
    
3. Modify web.xml from WEB-INF of your web application to include the following:
   
   
   <servlet>
     <servlet-name>weborb</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>weborb.ORBServlet</servlet-class>
     <load-on-startup> 1 </load-on-startup>
   </servlet>
   
   <servlet>
     <servlet-name>download</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>weborb.DownloadServlet</servlet-class>
     <load-on-startup> 1 </load-on-startup>
   </servlet>
   
   <servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>download</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/codegen.wo</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
   
   <servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>weborb</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>*.wo</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
4. Create \flex directory under WEB-INF in your web application.
   Copy all files from:
     [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp\WEB-INF\flex
   to
     [YOUR APP PATH]\WEB-INF\flex

WebORB Management Console deployment

1. Follow the steps from the "Minimal deployment" section.
    
2. Copy weborbconsole.html from:
    [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp
   to
     [DOC ROOT OF YOUR APPLICATION]
    
3. Copy all files from the console folder from:
    [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp\console
   to
     [DOC ROOT OF YOUR APPLICATION]\console
    
4. Copy all files from the weborbassets folder from:
    [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp\weborbassets
   to
     [DOC ROOT OF YOUR APPLICATION]\weborbassets
    
5. Once deployed, the console is available at the following path:
   
   http://localhost:[port]/[app-context-path]/weborbconsole.html

1. Follow the steps from the "Minimal deployment" section.
    
2. Deploy Spring deployment file to the /WEB-INF directory of your web application. For the simplicity of instructions, assume the file name is applicationContext.xml
    
3. Modify web.xml from WEB-INF of your web application to include the following:
   
   <context-param>
     <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
     <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
   </context-param>
   
   <listener>
     <listener-class>
       org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
     </listener-class>
   </listener>
   
4. Copy the following jar files:
    [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\spring-beans.jar
    [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\spring-context.jar
    [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\spring-core.jar
    [WEBORB_INSTALL]\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\spring-web.jar
   to
     [YOUR APP PATH]\WEB-INF\lib\
    
5. Once deployed, you can see the Spring beans in Management Console's service browser (select the Management tab)
