Flowable UI apps are available on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/flowable) but we would like to make it deployed on WebSphere version 8.5.5.12.  
I tried to download flowable 6.4.1 from the website and i see the WAR files:

1. flowable-admin.war
2. flowable-idm.war
3. flowable-modeler.war
4. flowable-rest.war
5. flowable-task.war

i try to import one of these WAR files into eclipse 4.9 as web project but it cannot be started. The error message in SystemOut.log is  
[9/15/19 15:11:02:884 CST] 000000b6 WSModuleDescr E WSWS7011E: The configuration for the flowable-idm.war application module cannot load correctly.  
The following error occurred: com.ibm.ws.metadata.annotations.AnnotationException: Annotation processing failed for class: META-INF/versions/9/org/apache/logging/log4j/util/ProcessIdUtil.class

Please help! And please advise the steps / configurations needed to make them deployed in WebSphere. Thanks!

@lagatanegra,

Welcome to the forum. Can you tell us more about the environment you’re trying to use? I just tested in the Jakarta EE version of Webshere Liberty (19.0.0.9) by doing the following:

- Download Webshere from [https://openliberty.io/downloads/#runtime\_releases](https://openliberty.io/downloads/#runtime_releases) and extract it
- From the `bin` for execute `./server create flowable`
- Copy all of the war to `usr/servers/flowable/dropins/`
- Update `usr/servers/flowable/server.env` to add `FLOWABLE_COMMON_APP_IDM_URL=http://localhost:9080/flowable-idm` so login will redirect to the right place
- From `bin` execute `./server start flowable`
- Wait a minute or so for the server to start up
- Navigate to [http://localhost:9080/flowable-modeler/](http://localhost:9080/flowable-modeler/) [http://localhost:9080/flowable-task/](http://localhost:9080/flowable-task/) or [http://localhost:9080/flowable-admin/](http://localhost:9080/flowable-admin/)

Will
