# Deploying generated .war files on WAS 6.1 with the Integrated Solutions Console

You can use the IBM Integrated Solutions Console to deploy the .war files it finds in the websphere-deploy directory.

Important: The procedure in this topic does not work in versions of WAS prior to 6.1.0.9, due to a known problem in WebSphere Application Server (for details, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg1PK36365). If you are using a service pack prior to 6.1.0.9, use wsadmin to deploy the generated .war file, as documented in the next topic.
Note: These steps may need to be adjusted for alternate WAS configurations.

To manually deploy a generated .war file:

1. Go to Applications > Enterprise Applications and select the enterprise application created when you deployed the portal .war file. Click Update.
2. Select "Replace or add a single module."
3. Specify the path to deploy the file as the display name of the new module. For example, if you are adding endeca-navigation-portlet.war, specify the path as endeca-navigation-portlet.
4. Browse the remote file system to the newly created .war file in the Liferay deploy output directory. Continuing the example above, this might be /home/endeca/liferay/websphere-deploy/endeca-navigation-portlet.war. Click Ok.
5. Select the detailed install path and keep the defaults on all screens except the context root. Set the context root to match the display name of the new plugin (in this example, /endeca-navigation-portlet/).
6. Once it has successfully updated, click Save directly to master configuration.
