<context><p>When you export an EJB project, the contents of the project are | |
exported into an EJB JAR file regardless of whether deployment code has been | |
generated or not. You can use the exported server-side JAR file as the client | |
JAR file, since it contains all of the required code from both a server-side | |
and client-side perspective.</p><note id="exportEJBClientJAR" type="important">If | |
you use the Export EJB JAR file wizard to export an EJB project, the export | |
wizard does not include an EJB project's associated EJB client JAR project. | |
To include the EJB client JAR file, it is recommended that you export the | |
enterprise application EAR file that contains the EJB project. The resulting | |
EAR file will include any dependent EJB client JAR files as utility JAR files. | |
Alternatively, you can export the EJB client JAR project separately as a JAR | |
file.</note><p>To export an EJB project, complete the following steps:</p></context> | |
<steps> | |
<step><cmd>In the Project Explorer view of the <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." | |
tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> EE perspective, right-click the EJB | |
project that you want to export and select <menucascade><uicontrol>Export</uicontrol> | |
<uicontrol>EJB JAR File</uicontrol></menucascade>.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>In the <uicontrol>EJB Project</uicontrol> drop-down list, select | |
the project you want to export if the name is not already filled in for you.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>In the <uicontrol>Destination</uicontrol> field, provide the full | |
path and JAR file name for the exported EJB module.</cmd></step> | |
<step importance="optional"><cmd>To include source files in the exported JAR | |
file, select the <uicontrol>Export source files</uicontrol> check box.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step importance="optional"><cmd>If you are exporting to an existing JAR file | |
and you do not want to be warned about overwriting it, select <uicontrol>Overwrite | |
existing file</uicontrol>.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>Finish</uicontrol>.</cmd></step> | |
</steps> | |
<result> <p>To deploy your EJB JAR file to an application server after you | |
export it, you need to use the deployment tools provided by the vendor of | |
that server.</p></result> | |
