How to deploy a Webapplication on WAS more than one times on same server?

[sven_rickelt]

Hi all,

I 've a special problem:

In our web-app (some DC's) also stored propertie-Files. Now we would to deploy this application more than one times at same server using different WebContentRoots. (f.e. http://server/app1 and http://server/app2 a.s.o.)

We know, that we must create different EAR-Projects and refer the web-Module and configure the application.

But in the second application there it's recommended to change some properties.

How we can handle this in JDI without copy the web-application?

I hope my question can be understood.

Hi Sven,

as I'm new to NWDI, I cannot give you a 100 percent, field-tested solution. But have you already thought about using the Configuration-Adapter?

If you can change the source of your web-app, you could maintain the data formerly stored in property files using the configuration adapter of visual administrator. The SC <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/e7e14b517b42788a1c166f9f32455e/content.htm">configuration</a> allows you to access this data.

With this approach you can stick to one web-application and do the configuration work separately for each deployed application.

Hi Frank,

thanks for your answer.

This may be a good way to try it.

Can you tell me the context of this documentation

(f.e. "Development Manual" -> "EAR Configuration"), I've not found them with Search.

If I follow the link, there is no navigation at the left and at top.

Hi Sven,

The link I gave you was taken from Google. I did not realize there was no sync button to update the entire frameset like it usually is in SAPs online documentation. In fact, I couldn't find the context of the page, too. What I found in my bookmarks is a link to an outdated <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas630/helpdata/de/a8/c7ccfd2ee40c438a4e0a21210baede/frameset.htm">Development Manual</a>. Although this is related to WebAS 6.30, this seems to be the most accurate documentation available for the configuration adapter. At least, I didn't find anything better.

Best regards,

Frank
