Assemble applications with the AAT

Use the Application Assembly Tool (AAT) to create modules and applications, and to change existing modules or applications. For more information on the Application Assembly Tool, see Application Assembly Tool.

If you want to make changes to an existing application, see Assemble or modify modules.

To create modules for your application and to package the modules into an enterprise archive (EAR) file, follow these steps:

1. Start the AAT.

2. Migrate application modules from J2EE 1.2 to J2EE 1.3.

3. Assemble EJB modules.

4. Assemble Web Modules.

5. Assemble Application Client Modules.

6. Assemble resource adapter modules.

7. Verify the archive files.

8. Generate code for deployment.

9. Save your application.

After you assemble the application, you can deploy it in your application server. See Deploy your application for more information.
