[Answered] How To Run Java Applications

[lani1234]

I have a working jsp/Servlet application that I want to get up and running on the Johnny server. Does your hosting site use war files or do I upload all source files to a particular directory? Your help is appreciated. Thank you

As stated in the features upon signup, each user gets one .war deploy.

Do I have the option of using the source files as well, or is the war file the only option to make it work?

Can someone please explain to me my options for running my JSP/Servlet web app? I have read the Wiki and the Forums and I can't find the answer. I am just wanting to know if there is more than one way to make my application work. Can I use my source files? If so, where should they be placed? Do I have to deploy a .war file? If so, where should it be placed? I appreciate any assistance you can give. Thank you.

If you would like to deploy a .war file follow these steps:

1. Create your account on Johnny http://www.heliohost.org/home/create-johnny-account
   
2. Request Java to be enabled on your account http://www.helionet.org/index/forum/74-java-requests/
   
3. Wait patiently and keep your account active, because Java can only be enabled on a finite number of account at a time, and you must wait in line to have it enabled. It can take up to a month to get Java enabled depending on how many other people are in line ahead of you.
   
4. Once Java is enabled on your account upload your .war file to your home directory. Ex: /home/username/MyProject.war
   
5. Request to have the .war file deployed by creating a new topic in Customer Service http://www.helionet.org/index/forum/45-customer-service/
   

 

As long as Java is enabled on your account, .jsp files can already be run by simply uploading them to anywhere within your public_html folder and accessing them with a URL such as http://domain.heliohost.org/file.jsp
