Deploying Applications to Bluemix

Is it possible to deploy the J2EE Module only into Bluemix? Because what I did now is I deployed the entire whole WebSphere Application Server. But then, what happen is that I can't run the application locally anymore because the server.xml configuration has been changed to use the database service selected in the Bluemix platform. Here's a snippet of the current setup. If there's another way, can someone tell me how

Setup

Solution

  • You can publish EAR and web modules directly to the Bluemix server in Eclipse. The Tools also support incremental publish of both type of modules.

    To deploy the application, you can simply right click on the Bluemix server on the Servers view and select the Add and Remove option. For details, you can refer to Publishing an EAR file section of the documentation. The steps for publishing a web module is the same as publishing an EAR module.

    Note that publishing the module directly does not allow you to include Liberty server configuration, i.e. the server.xml, as part of the publish operation. In case your application require specific server configuration settings, then you need to continue to publish the entire server as before.
