Deploy Tool
Purpose
This component is a graphical user interface that allows you to:
- generate J2EE archive components from existing class fields and deployment descriptors
- assemble these components in an application EAR
- edit the deployment properties of an EAR or an archive component
- deploy an EAR or an archive component on the specified J2EE Engine cluster elements
Deploy tool user interface concept is built on the assumption that every tab correspond to the different role from J2EE Specification:
- J2EE Components tab - Component provider role
- Assembler tab - Assembler role
- Deployer tab - Deployer role
The user interface elements in the different tabs are enabled or disabled based on these role responsibilities.
