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 files or WAR files from the same vendor into a single enterprise application (or archive). As a result, all such related JARs or WARs can be deployed together and loaded by a class loader. Such an 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 change the format of these files to EAR and then deploy the EAR files.

Perform the following steps to create an EAR file:

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 this command, replace <war_file_name> with arcotadmin.war to generate the EAR file for Administration Console. Similarly, replace <war_file_name> with arcotuds.war to generate the EAR file for UDS.

   This command generates the EAR file at <install_location>/arcot/java/webapps.
