Following and the documentation pointers from and , a concise, practical deployment checklist for WebSphere Community Edition 2 (WASCE) is provided below to turn those pointers into actionable steps.

WASCE is IBM's distribution of Apache Geronimo; servlets are deployed as WAR files. A standard WAR layout with a WEB-INF/web.xml mapping is expected (older WASCE releases may not support servlet annotations, so confirm the server's servlet API version). Typical deployment flow is: build the WAR, start the server, then deploy via the admin console, the command-line deploy tool, or the server's hot-deploy mechanism.

A minimal web.xml example (adjust the version to the server's supported servlet spec):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4"
  xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
  http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.example.HelloServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

Troubleshooting checklist: inspect server logs for deployment exceptions; avoid bundling container-provided jars (for example, servlet API jars) inside WEB-INF/lib; confirm the Java runtime matches WASCE requirements; verify context root and port bindings; when redeploying, undeploy first and clear temporary/work directories to avoid stale classes. As observed, multiple replies suggested docs; the above converts those suggestions into concrete, hands-on steps.

I would say to read the documentation and/or ask on a webshere forum/mailing list.
