Prepare the localizable-text package for deployment

The LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool is used to create a deployment JAR for the Localizable Text service. You must deploy the enterprise bean in each enterprise application that requires support for localized text.

Perform the following steps to prepare the localizable-text package for deployment:

1. Make sure the LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool (ltext.jar) exists in /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/Base/lib or /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/ND/lib, depending on which version of WAS you are running.

2. Set up a working directory for the LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool to use.

   You need to pass this location to the tool through a command line interface.

3. Run the LocalizableTextEJBDeploy tool.

   You may be asked if you want to regenerate deployment code for the LocalizableText bean. Do not redeploy the bean. If the bean is redeployed, the generated JNDI name will be incorrect.

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

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

See LocalizableTextEJBDeploy command for more information.
