5.2.1 WAM and XSL Deployment

Once your WAMs are developed and the web pages have been designed and tested, the application is ready to be deployed to production. You can use the LANSA Deployment Tool to create a deployment package.

The Deployment Tool allows you to select the WAMs to deploy and along with all of their dependent objects including the WEBROUTINE Web Designs (XSL Stylesheets).

Deploying your whole application is simply a matter of selecting an appropriate deployment template and ensuring that you:

• select the necessary WAMs

• select all the cross-references settings to include associated objects

• select the Technology Service (LANSA XHTML is the default)

• create a deployment package

• deploy the package to the production environment.

If your application uses any static external objects, such as image files, script pages or other HTML pages that are not identified to the Deployment Tool, then these objects must be deployed separately.

For further information, refer to the WAM Application Template XWAMAPP in the Deployment Tool Guide.
