Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 Developer's Guide

Verifier

The verifier tool checks a J2EE application file (EAR, JAR, WAR, RAR), including Java classes and deployment descriptors, for compliance with J2EE specifications. Use it to check whether an application has obvious bugs and to make applications portable across application servers. The verifier can be launched from the deploytool or from the command line. For more information, see The Deployment Descriptor Verifier.
