Application Runtime Environment

The following figure illustrates the environment for application-based deployment.

Figure 3–4 Application runtime environment

After deployment, an application is represented in domain.xml
as a j2ee-application element and expanded in a directory under j2ee-apps.

For file system entries, applications are extracted as follows:

domain-dir/applications/j2ee-apps/app-name
domain-dir/generated/ejb/j2ee-apps/app-name
domain-dir/generated/jsp/j2ee-apps/app-name

The applications directory contains the directory structures described in Directory Structure. The generated/ejb directory contains the stubs and ties that an ACC client needs to access the module; the generated/jsp directory contains compiled JSP files.

Configuration entries are added in the domain.xml file as follows:

<server>
   <applications>
      <j2ee-application>
         ...application configuration...
      </j2ee-application>
   </applications>
</server>

For details about domain.xml, see the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 Administration Reference.
