I use it at work but i don't really know the configuration of the server. On the application side you can do the following:

Manual method

  1. Compile in production mode

  2. Create a folder WEB-INF: in this folder configure a web.xml with the information you need (in my case datasources, basic authentication and http operations allowed)

  3. Create a folder META-INF containing a manifest.MF (bretty much useless for me) and a context.xml containing only the context path of the application

  4. Put theese folders alongside the compiled code

  5. Now create a .war file: i use a terminal command like this:

    jar -cvf yourProject.war -C C:\...\yourProject\dist\yourProject . Basically it means: take all the files inside the specified path (the dot is important) and create a war with them.

IDE method

I use NetBeans because with an IDE is all more confortable. The main difference is that you don't launch the jar -cvf manually, but you simply build the project, and depending which ide you're using the context.xml, the manifest.mf and the web.xml might be already there.

Before that you want to copy the compiled code into the Web Pages folder, then I build the project.

Finally I install the application using the IBM console. Hope this works for you!

P.S. This method is a little bit clunky, maybe there is a better one...
