Assemble a Web services-enabled EAR file

Use the AAT to assemble the Web services-enabled JAR or WAR file into an EAR file. The EAR file can contain an enterprise bean or application client JAR files; Web applications or WAR files; and metadata that describes the applications or application.xml files.

Example

In this example, there is an application.xml deployment descriptor packaged with a Web services-enabled JAR file called AddressBook.jar that is packaged into an EAR file called AddressBook.ear. The EAR file contains these files:

• META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
• META-INF/application.xml
• AddressBook.jar

This is the content of the application.xml deployment descriptor:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">
  <application id="Application_ID">
    <display-name>AddressBookJ2WEE</display-name>
    <description>AddressBook EJB Example from Java</description>
    <module id="EjbModule_1">
      <ejb>AddressBook.jar</ejb>
    </module>
  </application>
