Browsing for an Enterprise Application

To begin the process, perform the following steps:

1. In the Common Tasks section in the browser interface, click WebSphere 5.1.

2. Click the Enterprise Application (EAR): Create link.

You can use one of the following browsers to select your enterprise application for this component type:

• A WebSphere Appserver browser from which you can select one of the installed applications and its relevant settings. The Appserver browser provides an alphabetical list of enterprise applications on the application server. You can choose one enterprise application for a component.

• A file system browser from which you can select the EAR file to create a component that does not include settings. The file system browser provides a list of files and directories from which you can choose. You can choose to see only those files or type *.ear in the browser.

The WebSphere Plug-In can only install EAR files that were assembled using the IBM assemble tool. These files contain configuration settings that the plug-in requires.
