Assembling the Calculator Application 

 

Use this procedure to package the Calculator session bean, the CalcProxy JavaBean, and the Calculator JSP in an application archive (EAR file). The EAR file contains the JAR and the WAR files with the application components, as well as deployment descriptors – application.xml and application-j2ee-engine.xml.

Prerequisites

You have already created the archive files CalculatorEjb.jar and CalculatorWeb.war.
