An important task is to place runtime values (similar to environment-variable values) into the deployment descriptor of your J2EE module. You can interact with a workbench editor listed in the next table, for example; and in any case, the editors are available if you wish to reassign a value.
Project type | Name of deployment descriptor | How to assign values |
---|---|---|
application client | application-client.xml | Use the XML editor, Design tab |
EJB | ejb-jar.xml | Use the EJB editor, Beans tab |
J2EE Web | web.xml | Use the web.xml editor, Environment tab |
Before you paste entries from a J2EE environment file into the deployment descriptor of an application client or EJB project, you need to change the order of entries in the file, as described in Updating the J2EE environment file. You do not need to change the order of entries if you are working with a J2EE Web project.
For details on deployment descriptor properties, see Java runtime properties (details).
