Deployer's Guide

Target audience

The target audience for this guide is the deployer. The deployer is responsible for the deployment of Enterprise Beans and their containers in the EJB server.

Deployment process description

The deployment process consists of:

Now, with JOnAS 2 deployment descriptors are written in XML, the deployer must use its favorite XML editor for editing it and GenIC tool (provided with the JOnAS distribution) for the container classes generation process. In the next future a graphical tool will be provided in order to make this process easier.

Example:

Suppose that we want to customize the deployment of the AccountImpl bean in the JOnAS sample examples/src/eb.
The customization wanted will be to change the name of the database table used for the persistence of the AccountImpl.  

Another Example:

Suppose that we want to customize the deployment of a bean that is provided in an ejb-jar file name eb.jar
