This section covers only those command-line features of the deploytool utility that are relevant to web services.

Options

Most forms of the deploytool command include an optional module ID, which is used to uniquely identify a deployed module within the application server. If an explicit module ID is not supplied, then one is created by taking the display name of the module and replacing all spaces by underscore characters. The display name is obtained from the display-name element of the module’s deployment descriptor (i.e., META-INF/ejb-jar.xml for an EJB JAR file, WEB-INF/web.xml for a web archive, META_INF/application-client.xml for a client archive, META-INF/ra.xml for a Connector resource archive, or META-INF/application.xml ...
