Deploying Java Web Application on WebsitePanel platform

Question

I have created a web application using primefaces, spring, hibernate, mySQL (as database) and I used Tomcat7 as development server.

Now my client wants to deploy the app on a server which has " WebsitePanel " installed.

Is this even possible ? Could someone give me a link to a tutorial on how to do that ? Should I install a specific "extension" on this platform before starting deploying java webApps ?

PS Because I see that WebsitePanel is not even defined as tag here I will post a link to they website http://www.websitepanel.net/

Answer 1

     The powerful, flexible open source WebsitePanel platform gives users simple point-and-
click control over Windows Server applications including IIS, SQL Server, Exchange 2010, Sharepoint 2010, OCS, Lync and Hyper-V Deployments.

Please explain your client, that it has nothing to do with your app! The panel is for Windows Server Applications and I don't see you're using any. But if you'd still like, here's what can be easily done.

Get a windows server and install websitepanel. Configure java using http://tomcatiis.riaforge.org/ or http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc-archive/jk2/jk/iishowto.html

may be you can have something like mydomain.com having website-panel or another domain or subdomain like app.mydomain.com for java.

Answer 2

Quick answer on that is YES!

The problem whose with their hosting service technical support and also a lack from my knowledge. Because I did not know what is IIS or WebsitePanel So what are those:

IIS more or less is the same as Tomcat, Jboss, Jetty etc ( but specific for web application developed in .Net)

WebsitePanel more or less is the same as Cpanel a platform for managing server used for web application. What could you do from this platform: - manage one or more instance of IIS, Tomcat etc - configure FTP account ( install, add account and configure rights for them ) - manage a lot other functionality regarding a server as port access, DNS configuration, permission on that machine etc etc.
