Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude Add-On Component Development Guide

Packaging and Delivering an Add-On Component

Packaging an add-on component enables the component to interact with the Enterprise Server kernel in the same way as other components. Integrating a component with Enterprise Server enables Enterprise Server to discover the component at runtime. If an add-on component is an extension or update to existing installations of Enterprise Server, deliver the component through Update Tool.
