Introduction › Model Generation Targeting Java › Assembly and Deployment

Assembly and Deployment

During assembly and deployment, the files that make up a CA Gen Java EE application are placed into an EAR file. The following diagram shows how this is accomplished.

1. After selecting the CASCADE and Load Modules to be assembled into an EAR file, select Action, Assemble or click the Assemble toolbar icon to open the EAR File Assemble Details dialog.

   Note: You must not select the DDL module.

2. The EAR File Assemble Details dialog allows you to specify the properties of the EAR file, including its name, the targeted application server, and so on.

   If a Web Client has been selected for deployment, you can specify the WAR file properties, including its name and default context.

   Note: For a detailed explanation of this dialog, see the Build Tool User Guide.

   After the dialog is complete, click OK.

3. The Build Tool executes a script that performs the following tasks:
   • The files of the selected Web Clients, EJBs, or both are placed into the EAR file.
   • The generated deployment descriptors are updated with information from the EAR File Assemble Details dialog.

After completion, the EAR file is ready for deployment on your application server. Use the deployment facilities native to your application server to perform this task.
