The WebSphere Enhanced EAR editor

The WebSphere® Enhanced EAR editor is used to edit server configurations for WebSphere Application Server v6.0. The server configuration data that you specify in this editor gets embedded within the application itself. This improves the administration process of publishing to WebSphere Application Server v6.0 when installing a new application to an existing local or remote WebSphere Server by preserving the existing server configuration. The following topics describe how to set up a local and remote WebSphere Application Server v6.x, for example, setting up ports or data sources.

To locate the WebSphere Enhanced EAR editor:
  1. Switch to the J2EE perspective.
  2. In the Project Explorer view, expand the Enterprise Applications folder.
  3. Under the enterprise application project folder for which you want to test the data source, double-click the Deployment Descriptor to open the Application Deployment Descriptor editor.
  4. Select the Deployment tab at the bottom of the editor.
Restriction:
  • Before adding or removing J2EE modules, using the Module page in the Application Deployment Descriptor editor, first click the Deployment tab to activate the functions in the deployment page. Then add or remove your modules from the Module page. You need to complete this task for each Application Deployment Descriptor editor session that you want to add or remove modules from the Module page.
  • If the WebSphere Enhanced EAR editor (the deployment page) is opened and changes are made to its dependant files either on the file system or using another editor, these changes do not reload on the deployment page. To refresh the changes on the deployment page, close and reopen the WebSphere Enhanced EAR editor.
