Deployment — Uploading and Deploying Your First Java Application Print

How to Deploy Your Java Application on Systron Hosting

This guide will walk you through uploading and launching your Java application using your Systron control panel.

Step 1: Package Your Application Locally

• Before uploading, ensure your Java project is built and packaged into a standard web archive format (like a .war file) or an executable archive (like a .jar file).
• Make sure your application runs fine locally using a supported JDK runtime variant before deploying it to the server.

Step 2: Upload Your Project Files

• Log in to your Systron hosting client area and access your control panel.
• Navigate to Websites & Domains and click on File Manager for your domain.
• Open your application directory (usually your /httpdocs folder or a custom subdirectory you created).
• Upload your compiled .war or .jar file into this directory.

Step 3: Enable and Map the Java Application Server

• Return to Websites & Domains.
• Click on the Java or Application Server management icon.
• Set your application context path to match your layout requirements. If it is your primary site, map it directly to the root context (/).
• Select the appropriate target archive file you uploaded in Step 2.
• Choose your preferred Java / JDK Version from the available dropdown menu.
• Click Enable to let the application server unpack and start running your Java backend.

Step 4: Restart and Test Your Application

• Once initialized, open a new browser tab and navigate to your website domain to confirm the application loads successfully.
• If you ever update your code and replace the archive file, return to the Java application dashboard and click the Restart Application button to apply your updates.
