Install a New Web Application

1. Click the Web Applications node in the left pane. The Web Applications table displays in the right pane showing all the deployed Web Applications.

2. Enter the path of the .war file or the folder containing a Web Application in exploded format in the text field, or click Browse to select it in your file system.

3. Click Upload to install the application. The new Web Application is added under the Web Applications node in the left pane. When you choose "Install a new Web Application", the application is copied to applications directory, and the Web Application name defaults to the name of the .war file.
