Deployment: Putting It All Together 

Purpose

This section describes how you deploy a J2EE application on the J2EE Engine. Refer to the J2EE specification about the specifics of the deployment phase. See also the information about the different components for the most suitable way to deploy them.

Implementation Considerations

We recommend you use the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio when you need to develop an application from scratch and deploy it. For more information, see Getting Involved.

Features

Various deployment scenarios require different ways to perform the deployment tasks. The following means of deployment are provided:

·        Software Deployment Manager (SDM) – groups several different deployment types in a single network interface for the deployment of any software that you develop with the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.

To deploy software that you have developed in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio in a local target system, the Developer Studio calls the SDM directly.

It is especially suitable for:

¡        Administrators when they want to deploy ready applications.

¡        Administrators when they want to deploy Support Packages for Java applications.

¡        Developers who cooperate with other developers. They will be able to deploy the components developed by the other group and test the joint work of their components.

¡        developers who deploy their applications locally out of the NetWeaver Developer Studio.

·        Deploy Tool – this multipurpose tool enables you to generate, assemble and deploy J2EE applications and application components. The Deploy Tool is only necessary if you use the J2EE Engine without the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure.

·        Script Files – generate, assemble and deploy J2EE applications or application components. Suitable for large-scale projects when you write the procedure once and then execute it many times.

·        Converter Tool – converts J2EE application components that were written to work on J2EE Engine 6.20 to components that work on J2EE Engine 6.40.
