22.5 Deploying the SRDemo Sample Application

The SRDemo application includes a project called "BuildAndDeploy", which contains EAR and WAR deployment profiles as well as Ant scripts that you can use to build the application. The deployment profiles pull in the appropriate files from the projects in the application workspace to build the EAR and WAR files. You can deploy the EAR or WAR file on your target application server. (You can also deploy directly to your application server from JDeveloper if you have created a connection to your application server.)

To view the properties of a deployment profile, right-click the deployment profile and choose Properties from the context menu.

The SRDemo application also includes the UserInterface/src/META-INF/SRDemo-jazn-data.xml file. The file contains some usernames and passwords so that the application can work out of the box running on the embedded OC4J server. Note that this file is not distributed in the EAR file. If you deploy the application to an external application server, you have to set up the relevant credential store on the target application server.

If you want to deploy the application to different application servers, you can create a separate deployment profile for each target application server. This enables you to configure the properties for each target separately.

Note: The SRDemo sample application uses EJB 3.0 features. As a result, it may not run on all application servers. Currently, it has been tested against Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 and OC4J standalone 10.1.3.
