Deploying web applications using Web Server 7.0 GUI


Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 has a completely redesigned administration GUI which is very user-friendly and allows for easy navigation. It includes a common tasks page which enables us to quickly perform frequently used tasks like creating new virtual servers,adding web applications, creating new instances etc. The new GUI has added wizards which provide a convenient way for the users to accomplish complex tasks such as creation of configurations, virtual servers and instances, installing and requesting certificates etc. The monitoring UI has been revamped to provide the overall state of the instances on a single page.
In this demo I will show how easy it is to create a new configuration, start instances and deploy a web application.
The demo is about 3.7 MB in size and requires a flash plug-in for the browser.

Web Server 7.0 provides an all-new graphical installation mode which walks us through the  installation process and  prompts for the installation information and preferences. It also provides an express installation mode which enables us to quickly install theWeb Server using the most common options and predefined defaults(for port, hostname and JDK installation).
In this demo I will show how to install the Web Server using the custom installation mode, which provides us flexibility in customizing the installation.
