# Prepare Application Server

An **application server** provides the runtime environment required to deploy and execute web applications.\
Within the ONEWEB platform, the application server is responsible for hosting ONEWEB runtimes and executing application logic.

ONEWEB supports the following enterprise‑grade application servers:

* **IBM WebSphere Application Server**
* **JBoss EAP**
* **WildFly**

The selection of an application server should align with organizational standards, deployment architecture, and operational requirements.

This section focuses on **preparing the application server environment** so that it is ready for ONEWEB deployment.\
Detailed, step‑by‑step configuration procedures for each supported application server are covered in the following sub‑sections.
