Hi all,
This question isn't unique to jboss, but I hope that it's something a
lot of people have thought about, and understand better than me...
I'm trying to understand a good deployment scheme for a web application,
that is, where do my classes go?
I've got the following categories of classes:
1. EJB classes -- that is the XxxHome, XxxBean and Xxx classes
2. Client classes -- mostly wrapper classes which find home interfaces,
create beans and delegate to them
3. Bean implemenatation classes -- used by many of the XxxBean classes.
4. Value object classes -- used by the EJB classes and the Client
classes. Other common support classes come into this catgory too.
My understanding of an EAR archive is: (ignoring war files for now)
foo.ear:
META-INF:
MANIFEST.MF - can have class path
application.xml - names application, lists ejb jar files and war
files
bean1.jar:
META-INF:
MANIFEST.MF - auto generated, not very interesting
ejb-jar.xml - bean deployment parameters
Bean1.class
Bean1Bean.class
Bean1Home.class -- should I have other classes in bean1.jar
bean2.jar:
<like bean 1>
Now, I believe that I can have other files in the EAR file as mentioned in
the class path in the MANIFEST.MF:
lib:
this.jar - these jar files contain category 2, 3 and 4 classes
that.jar
Does this make sense? What do other people do?
Thanks for any tips.
Tom
