Customized WebSphere Commerce Enterprise Application (EAR) assets
The WebSphere Commerce J2EE assets are provided in a Enterprise Application (EAR) file. If you customize or change the WebSphere Commerce EAR assets, package and deploy the changed assets. You deploy the EAR assets to WebSphere Application Server, using either a graphical wizard, or scripting tools. Regardless of whether you use the graphical or scripting tools, always back up the J2EE assets before you deploy.
