RE: J2EE SDK Deployment tool
.ear is an enterprise application jar file that contains all the ejb jar files, the .war (web jar file) and the xml deployment descriptor for the application. The complete app is jarred into this one file. Here is the breakdown of all the jar files. 1. EJB Module ( .jar file) contains: - enterprise java bean - remote interface - home interface - primary key class, if entity bean - additional third party support classes not in J2EE - ejb-jar deployment descriptor. 2. Web Module (.war file) contains: - java classes for servlets and classes they depend on - jsp pages and helper classes - static documents ( sound files, HTML, gif, etc.) - Applets and their support classes - Web Deployment Descriptor. 3. Application Module (.ear file) contains: - all ejb .jar files - all .war files - Application Deployment Descriptor -Steve -Original Message- From: Jim Archer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2000 5:15 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: J2EE SDK Deployment tool I have a dumb question...

Hi, Enterprise Application aRchive. WAR is a Web ... These are in JAR format with special locations for components. Hope this helps, Eric Jim Archer wrote: > I have a dumb question...

Re: J2EE SDK Deployment tool
Assembly tools, yes. These are standardized and the .ear you output is deployable in any J2EE platform. Deployment tools on the other hand are server-specific. Orion currently ships with assembly tools (earassembler being the main one) but deployment is still "file based". The admin console from where deployment will take place is under development but the release has been postponed to the Orion 1.1 release. 1.1 is not far off though, it will follow shortly after the "fcs" 1.0 release. So, for now: a) You can either use the Sun-RI assembly tools or Orion's tools for assembly (to make the .ear), both works. b) For deployment you'll have to edit server.xml etc until the admin console is released. I hope that clears things up. /Magnus Stenman, the Orion team - Original Message - From: "Robert Keith (UK)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Orion-Interest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2000 12:09 PM Subject: J2EE SDK Deployment tool > Hi Guys, > > Can I use the J2EE SDK tool to create EAR files and then use these EAR files > with Orion? > > If so can you guys point me in the direction of the docs, or provide some > useful tips on doing this. > > thanx > > Robert
J2EE SDK Deployment tool
Hi Guys, Can I use the J2EE SDK tool to create EAR files and then use these EAR files with Orion? If so can you guys point me in the direction of the docs, or provide some useful tips on doing this. thanx Robert
