Where can I locate the deployed application in WPS folder?
After deploying the Lesson_4 portlet, I got interested to know where it is exactly placed in the websphere folder structure.
D:/IBM/Websphere is my installation directory
There are three folders in this directory – Appserver,PortalServer,wp_profile.
Under “installedApps\” folder of this profile, you will find many EAR files deployed.
The files in the wp_profile directory are writable, whereas the files in the PortalServer directory contains files that are private to the portal server. These are read only.
The folder “installedapps” under wp_profile contains the files we deploy using the managemnet console.
In this folder, there is another folder with the node name(rocky is my node). Under rocky, we can find “PA_Lesson_4.ear”, the Lesson_4 portlet we just deployed.
The important folders and their use is shown in the picture.
