# Configure Web applications

After you have installed a Web application as a WAR archive or exploded directory , it is displayed in the Administration Console Deployments table, where you can view, access, and configure it.

To configure a Web application:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the Administration Console, select Deployments. A table that lists the deployments currently installed on WebLogic Server appears in the right pane. The Type column specifies whether a deployment is an Enterprise application, a Web application, or an EJB module.
3. In the right pane, click the name of the Web application you want to configure.
4. Select the Overview tab to view general configuration information about the Web application, such as its name, path to the application source files, and deployment plan. You can also edit some of the information on this page, such as deployment order. Click Save to save any changes.
5. Select the Deployment Plan tab to view and change tuning parameters and resource dependencies for the Web Application. Click Save to save any changes.
6. Select the Configuration > General tab to view and change session information. Click Save to save the configuration changes.
7. Select the Configuration > Logging tab to view and change information about the log file associated with the Web application. Click Save to save the configuration changes.
8. Select the Configuration > Workload tab to configure a work manager that will manage the work requests. Click Save to save the configuration changes.

   Note: You must create a work manager before you can associate it to the Web application.

9. Select the Security -> Roles tab to view and change security role information. Click Save to save any changes.
10. Select the Security -> Policies tab to view and change security policy information. Click Save to save any changes.
11. Select the Targets tab to view and change the servers and clusters to which the Web application is deployed. Click Save to save any changes.
12. Select the Control->Start/Stop tab to stop and start the Web application.
13. Select the Control->Initialize Caches tab to manually clear the caches and pools of the idle beans in application-level caches.
14. Select the Testing tab to use a test point, if one has been defined for your Web application, to verify that the Web application has been successfully deployed.
15. Select the Monitoring->Web Applications tab to display monitoring information for the Web application.
16. Select the Monitoring->Servlets tab to display monitoring information for the servlets associated with the Web application.
17. Select the Monitoring->Sessions tab to display statistics about the sessions associated with this Web application.
18. Select the Monitoring->Workload tab to display statistics about the work managers, constraints, and policies (if any) configured for this Web application.
19. Select the Notes tab to view and enter optional notes about the Web application. Click Save to save any changes.
20. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
    Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
