Updating the deployment descriptor manually

If you are updating a deployment descriptor from a generated J2EE environment file, do as follows:

1. Read the overview information in Setting deployment-descriptor values.

2. If you worked on an application client or EJB project, make sure that the order of the sub-elements in the generated environment entries is correct, as described in Updating the J2EE environment file.

3. Copy the environment entries into your project's deployment descriptor as follows:
   1. Make a backup copy of the deployment descriptor.

   2. Open the J2EE environment file, which is called programName-env.txt file. Copy the environment entries into the clipboard.

   3. Double-click on the deployment descriptor.

   4. Click on the Source tab.

   5. Paste the entries at a proper location.

For details on deployment descriptors, see Java run-time properties (details).
