Question

I am beginner java web developer, now my question is after i developed my application, how to make users see it on the web?

I used JSF,MySQL and GlassFish server in my development stage and now i want to publish it.

I have searched alot but there is no specific way for it. I am trying to make this dynamic website based on jsf development--and it is already done--become alive and out their like any other web site?

any guide lines and steps should i take in making this steps ?

Answer 1

Either you will need a "Production" server to host the application yourself or use a hosting service of some kind that provides a Java EE container. If you're tied to Glassfish, you can Google for those providers like http://glassfishhosting.com/.

Other options that might be good fits for you are cloud services. Something like either Rackspace or Amazon EC2. Each has their own pricing tiers that scale based on usage. Good luck to you going Live!

Answer 2

Can host the code on Github and push it to Heroku.

Answer 3

I don't know the provider you chose but you need a java application server for your live environment. And optimally this should be the same server as your development server.

For our projects we buy a virtual server and install Glassfish on it. This costs around 15 € per month and we have the same environment for development and production.
