Deploy Tool Tabbed Panes 

Definition

The Deploy Tool contains four tabbed panes. They correspond to the four main tasks that you can perform in the Deploy Tool.

Structure

The tabbed panes are:

·        J2EE Components tabbed pane – provides functions for making archive files out of J2EE components. Use it to create EJB JAR files, Web archives (WAR), Application Client JAR files and Resource Adapter archives (RAR).

·        Assembler tabbed pane – provides functions for combining JAR, WAR, client archive JAR files and Resource Adapter RAR files in an application. You can modify the deployment descriptors from the original J2EE archive files, and generate the EAR application file. An alternative deployment descriptor is created for each archive file. These files store the information necessary to visualize the deployment properties in the Assembler tab. The changes of the deployment properties are stored in alternative deployment descriptors.

·        Deployer tabbed pane – provides functions for specifying the deployment properties and the J2EE Engine-specific properties to deploy the application.

·        Server Components tabbed pane – provides functions for specifying the deployment properties, assemble and deploy services, interfaces and libraries.

Integration

·        Use the J2EE Components tabbed pane for Generating J2EE Components.

·        Use the Assembler tabbed pane for Assembling a J2EE Application.

·        Use the Deployer tabbed pane for Deploying a J2EE Application.

·        Use the Server Component tabbed pane for Deploying Libraries, Interfaces and Services.
