| <div class="id_taskbody"><p class="id_shortdesc">Using the wizard to create an enterprise |
| application project allows you to package many web applications and modules |
| in a project and deploy these modules as a J2EE enterprise application.</p> |
| |
| <div class="id_context"><p class="anchor_topictop" /> |
| <p>Enterprise |
| application projects contain references to the resources needed for enterprise |
| applications and can contain a combination of Web modules, JAR files, connector |
| modules, EJB modules, and application client modules. An enterprise application |
| project is deployed in the form of an EAR file, and is therefore sometimes |
| referred to as an EAR project. The modules in an enterprise application project |
| are mapped to other J2EE projects. The mapping information is stored in metadata |
| files within the enterprise application project. The metadata files are used |
| for exporting the project to an EAR file and for running the project on the |
| server.</p> |
| <p>Like the other types of projects, enterprise application projects |
| can contain one or more project facets, which represent units of functionality |
| in the project. To be deployed as an EAR file, the new project must have the |
| EAR facet. Depending on what you want to use the project for, you may want |
| to enable other facets for the project.</p> |
| <p>When |
| you create an enterprise application project, it is recommended that you do |
| not give it a name that contains double-byte character set (DBCS) characters.</p> |
| <p>To |
| create a J2EE enterprise application project, complete the following steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <ol class="id_steps"> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Java™ EE perspective, click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span> |
| > <span class="uicontrol">New</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Project</span></span>.</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the New Project Wizard, select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">J2EE</span> |

| </li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Project Name</span> field, type a name for |
| the new project. </span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To change the default project location, clear |
| the <span class="uicontrol">Use default</span> check box under <span class="uicontrol">Project |
| contents</span> and select a new location with the <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span> button.</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Target runtime</span> field, select the |
| target runtime for the project.</span> You can click the <span class="uicontrol">New</span> button |
| to create a new runtime for the project to use.</li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To use a predefined configuration for your |
| project, select a configuration in the <span class="uicontrol">Configuration</span> list. |
| You can click the <span class="uicontrol">Modify</span> button to do the following:</span> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Customize project facets. Select the check boxes next to the facets you |
| want the project to have and select a version number for each facet. Select |
| a facet name to see more information about that facet in the <span class="uicontrol">Details</span> tab. |
| You can also choose a preset combination of facets from the <span class="uicontrol">Configurations</span> list.</li> |
| |
| <li>Limit your project to be compatible with one or more runtimes. Click the <span class="uicontrol">Show |
| Runtimes</span> tab and select the runtimes that you want the project |
| to be compatible with. </li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| Click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>On the J2EE Modules to Add to the EAR page of the wizard, select |
| the existing modules that you want to add to the new enterprise application |
| project.</span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To create new modules to add to the project, |
| click the <span class="uicontrol">New Module</span> button to do one of the following:</span> |
| |
| <table class="choicetableborder" summary="" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" rules="rows" frame="hsides" border="1"> |

| </tr> |
| |
| </tbody></table> |
| |
| You can enter a name for each module. Each of these modules will have |
| the default settings for that type of project and they will have the same |
| server target as the new enterprise application.</li> |
