Preparing the localizable-text package for deployment


The LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool is used to create a deployment JAR file for the localizable text service. You must deploy the enterprise bean in each enterprise application that requires support for localized text. Write code to compose the language-specific strings.

 

  1. Make sure that the LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool is included in the class path.

    For transitioning users: In versions 6.0.x and earlier, the LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool used to reside in the file APP_ROOT/lib/ltext.jar. It now resides in the file APP_ROOT/plugins/com.ibm.ws.runtime_1.0.0.jar.trns

  2. Set up a working directory for the LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool to use. we need to pass this location to the tool through a command-line interface.

  3. Run the LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool. We might be asked to regenerate deployment code for the LocalizableText bean. Do not redeploy the bean; if we do, an incorrect JNDI name will be generated.

    To deploy the bean on multiple hosts and servers, run the tool for each host and server combination. This action generates a unique JNDI name for each deployment.

    After the tool is run, a deployment JAR file is located in the working directory that you specified.

 

Next steps

Use an assembly tool, assemble the deployment JAR file in an enterprise application with other application components. As part of preparing for deployment, perform the following:

The same deployment JAR file can be included in several enterprise applications.
