Since we already have our new application server configured, we will proceed to the next step; that is, to perform a deploy with a simple application and some more advanced settings about logs, datasources, installing new modules, and other useful features.

Knowing a lot about an application server is actually an important point and one that differentiates us from others when we impose some configuration that can improve performance and server security. This requires a deep knowledge of the directory structure and key files, settings, and functions. An administrator who does not know the application server will face many difficulties in solving a problem and finding the root cause. The resolution of problems in Java applications is complex. Why just know only one side of the coin? It is also necessary to know a bit of Java. Keeping a standard premises helps to maintain an organized environment; even if the environment has more than one administrator or a newly hired person, they will not have difficulty navigating the environment but will become familiar with it, because it follows a pattern.
