Connectors, also known as resource adapters, are deployed as Java resource archives, or resource adapter archive (.RAR) files. The connector deployment depends on the Web application server.

Connector Archive

The connector's archive file contains the following objects:

  • The .jar files that contain the Java standard connector classes.

  • The ra.xml deployment descriptor file, which is Java standard and contains the connector metadata. For more information, see Deployment Descriptor Example .

  • The manifest.mf automatically-generated file that contains general version information-Java standard for RAR files.

  • connector-j2ee-engine.xml file that contains deployment information, such as component type and version. This file is specific to SAP and not the Java standard for RAR's.
