Installing a new application

To install an enterprise application into a WebSphere configuration, you must install its modules onto one or more application servers. Follow these steps for this task:
1. Select Applications -> Enterprise Applications -> Install or Applications -> Install New Application.
2. Specify the location of the EAR file to install The EAR file that you are installing can be either on the client machine running the Web browser, or on any of the nodes in the cell. Click Next.

3. The first window has settings used during the installation. These settings primarily determine whether default settings will be used or if you will override them during the installation. For example, you can elect to override existing bindings, specify value s to use as a default for EJB 1.1 CMP bindings and connection factory bindings, and the default virtual host to use. Click Next.
4. The rest of the installation process is done in steps. The steps can vary, depending on the contents of the EAR file. 

The following steps are a typical sequence:
- Provide options to perform the installation. This includes an option to use embedded configuration values in an Enhanced EAR and the option to pre-compile JSPs.
- Map modules to application servers and Web servers.
- Select the backend ID to use for database access.
- Provide listener bindings for message -driven beans.
