What Happens at Deployment?
When you deploy a module to one or more instances of iPlanet Application Server,
post processing is performed.
At deployment, application files are automatically
distributed to their appropriate directories on one or more instance of the
iPlanet Application Server. The files are then registered with the iPlanet
Application Server. The deployment process performs the following:
- FTPs the WAR/JAR file to the target server to iPlanet/ias6/ias/JAR directory
- Connects to the Directory Server
- Reads the J2EE application deployment descriptor from the WAR/JAR files (META-INF/*.xml)
- Registers the J2EE modules in the iAS Registry within the Directory Server
- Extracts the files to the appropriate directory:
- JSP files
- classes referred to by JSP files in USEBEAN tags
- JSP tag library descriptors
- Static web content
- WAR and EJB JAR files
These extracted files are the ones the iPlanet Application Server classloader loads.
