Getting a Deployable EAR 

Use

Use this procedure to save the temp.ear file that is generated by the Deploy Tool. This file is necessary if you want to deploy a different EAR file with a similar content and different server-dependent settings. You can use it for the deployment procedure with another tool.

The resulting deployable EAR contains all J2EE Engine specific XML files and satisfies the requirements of Java™ 2 Platform Enterprise Edition Specification, version 1.3.

This procedure can also be used for converting J2EE components written in accordance with Java™ 2 Platform Enterprise Edition Specification, version 1.2 to version 1.3.

Procedure

       1.      In your DLP project, choose the Deployer tab

       2.      Choose Deploy → EAR → Get Deployable EAR. The File Chooser Window appears.

       3.      Specify a name of the EAR file and a location to be stored.

This function saves only the temp.ear file with a new name and location. It does not save any modification or application files.

Result

You can use the file you have saved for any deployment procedure that requires an EAR file.
