Undeploying Web Modules

You can undeploy web modules in four ways: you can use NetBeans IDE, the Admin Console, the asadmin command, or the Ant tool.

    To use NetBeans IDE:

  1. Ensure the Enterprise Server is running.

  2. In the Services window, expand the Servers node, Enterprise Server instance and the Applications node.

  3. Right-click the application or module and choose Undeploy.

    To use the Admin Console:

  1. Open the URL http://localhost:4848/ in a browser.

  2. Expand the Applications node.

  3. Select the check box next to the module you wish to undeploy.

  4. Click the Undeploy button.

Use the asadmin command as follows:


asadmin undeploy context-root

To use the Ant tool, execute the following command in the directory where you built and packaged the WAR:


ant undeploy
