Chapter 23. Deploying EJBs

In this chapter we take apart an EAR, put it together, and then send it out into the world.

What you Will Learn

What is in an EAR.
How to build an EAR by hand.
How to integrate some of the tools we’ve covered before (CVS and Ant) to automate this and avoid having to build an EAR by hand.
How to deploy an EAR to JBoss.
How to deploy an EAR to Geronimo.

Some people may wonder why anyone would want to describe to you how to build an EAR by hand. The task of constructing such things is increasingly automated, often performed by IDEs, Ant, or J2EE containers or related tools. So why the grubby details of doing it yourself? Two reasons, really. First, if you hide behind the tool, you never fully understand what is happening. It looks ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
