Packaging: Sample "C"
iPlanet^TM Application Server Samples

If you already deployed the packaging sample C, you can run the application by clicking here.

This samples illustrates module based registration. A single EAR file (pkgingC.ear) contains one EJB JAR file (pkgingC1EJB.jar) and one WAR file (pkgingCWAR.war). The library files accessed by the components of pkgingC.ear file (for example, DateLibrary and Calculator) are stored in library.jar which is in turn included in the EJB JAR file pkgingC2EJB.jar.

 
The WAR and EJB JAR modules in pkgingC.ear call business methods of the EJB packaged in pkgingC2EJB.jar. The EJB in turn calls methods in classes packaged in library.jar. This sample demonstrates the following aspects of packaging:

• Module based registration: pkgingC2EJB.jar is deployed as a module outside of an EAR file.
• Access to modules from applications: Modules in pkgingC.ear access business methods packaged in pkgingC2EJB.jar. To do this, the path to the module (install_dir/ias/APPS/modules/pkgingC2EJB) needs to be included in the application server's CLASSPATH.
• Packaging of library files in EJB JAR files: This is demonstrated by the inclusion of all library classes (DateLibrary and Calculator) in library.jar.

Assembling the Application

Deploying the Application

Running the Application

Assembling the Application

Go to install_dir/ias/ias-samples/pkging/pkgingC/src. Execute the command 'build'. This command executes the default target that compiles the Java sources, creates the EJB stubs and skeletons and packages the WAR, EJB JAR and the final EAR file. The prebuilt and ready-to-use EAR file under the sample directory can also be used for deployment.

The resulting EAR file can be found at:

install_dir/ias/ias-samples/pkging/pkgingC/assemble/ear/pkgingC.ear

The resulting standalone EJB JAR modules can be found at:

installdir/ias/ias-samples/pkging/pkgingC/assemble/module/pkgingC2EJB.jar

Deploying the Application

Navigate to the directory containing the application's EAR file and run the iasdeploy command:

iasdeploy deployapp pkgingC.ear

This command deploys the application to the local machine.

Navigate to the directory containing the application's standalone EJB JAR module and run the iasdeploy command:

iasdeploy deploymodule pkgingC2EJB.jar

This command deploys the standalone EJB JAR module to the local machine.

Add the standalone module's directory to the application server's classpath. See the Samples Getting Started Guide for details on setting the classpath to include the following directory:

install_dir/ias/APPS/modules/pkgingC2EJB

Make sure that you restart the application server after the classpath is modified.

Running the Application

Run the application by accessing the following link:
