Web Administrative Console (WebSphere Application Server Advanced Single Server

Edition) or the Java Administrative Console (WebSphere Application Server Advanced

Edition) can deploy an application to the WebSphere Application Server. This section explains

how to install an application into the WebSphere Application Server environment. This
