Step 4: (Mandatory for Oracle WebLogic 10.1) Creating Enterprise Archive File

Most application servers (such as WebSphere and WebLogic) enable you to bundle related JAR or WAR files from one vendor into a single enterprise application (or archive). As a result, all the related JARs or WARs can be deployed together, and can be loaded by a class loader. This archive also contains an application.xml file, which is generated automatically and describes how to deploy each bundled module.

By default, AuthMinder provides WAR files to deploy Administration Console and User Data Service. If required, you can also change the format of these files to EAR and then deploy the EAR files.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the command prompt window.
2. Navigate to the <install_location>/arcot/tools/common/bundlemanager directory.
3. Run the bundlemanager tool to create the EAR file by using the following command:

   java -jar bundle-manager.jar  -ear <filename.ear> -warList <war_file_name>
   

   Note: In the preceding command, replace the <war_file_name> with arcotadmin.war for generating EAR file for Administration Console, and arcotuds.war for generating EAR file for User Data Service.

   The above command generates the EAR file and it is available at <install_location>/arcot/java/webapps.
