Hi Ivaylo,
to answer your first question, the EAR that I am trying
to deploy gets created as part of the publish step. When
I look in the application.xml file of this EAR I see a
version attribute with value of 1.4 in the application
tag, can we assume that this implies J2EE 1.4 compliancy?
One thing about this generated EAR is that it does not
include any java code (VM or otherwise). When I generate
the EAR by hand (by exporting the EJB project as an EAR
file there is a JAR for the actual java code put in
there, but when generating the EAR via publish there is
only some xml and manifest stuff put in the EAR, with the
result that it's only 2KB or so in size. I have specified
a J2EE module dependency from the Enterprise Application
project to the EJB project, but is there something else I
need to do to ensure that the java code (jar) gets
included in the EAR of the Enterprise Application when
attempting to deploy via publish?
Thanks for the other suggest, "Import J2EE Archive".
However, I am having difficulty locating this button.
When I look at the "Deploy View" window I see on the left
the Workspace and External Deployable Archives trees,
and on the right there are "Setting for Updating
SCAs/SDAs" radio buttons, as well as "Error Strategy"
radio buttons, but no "Import J2EE Archive" button.
Thanks for the info about SDM by the way, I was wondering
why I was not able to launch it (there is still a remote
gui shortcut, which should probably go away).
