You can package an application module as a JAR file, using the module’s manifest file as the JAR file’s manifest, by invoking the jar
command with the m
option flag. For example, if you have a module’s resources and manifest file in your /work/MyModule
directory, you can make a JAR file named mymodule.jar
for the module with this command:
jar cvfm mymodule.jar MANIFEST.MF -C /work/MyModule .
Packaging the module into a single file makes it easier to copy the module to multiple Oracle ATG Web Commerce installations. To add the module to an Oracle ATG Web Commerce installation, unjar the file in the <ATG10dir>
directory; this installs the module in the appropriate place in the directory structure. You might need also to copy HTML files into your web server document root directory.
