Step 12: Test Your Identity Manager Application in the Development Environment

Restart the application server and test your Identity Manager application at least minimally to confirm that at least the basic functions are working as expected.

You must redeploy your web applications after upgrading Identity Manager because most application servers cache the web.xml file.

To Redeploy Your Web Application After Upgrading

If you are using the Sun GlassFish^TM Enterprise Server, for example, you would perform the following steps to redeploy a web application after upgrading Identity Manager:

1. Log in to the GlassFish administrator interface.

2. Choose Applications > Web Applications from the menu bar.

3. Locate your web application and click the Redeploy link.

4. Click the button next to the Local Packaged File or Directory That Is Accessible From the Application Server option.

5. Click the Browse Folders button and select the top-level folder for your installation.

   For example:

   C:\Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\applications\j2ee-modules\idm

6. Click OK.

7. Restart the application server.
