Verifying archive files
Verify your archive files and correct any problems so that generation
of deployment code is successful. During verification, the Application Assembly
Tool (AAT) checks that an archive file is complete, and that deployment descriptor
properties and references contain appropriate values.
Steps for this task
- Start the Application
Assembly Tool (AAT).
- Click File > Open and select the module to verify.
- Right-click the name of the module at the top of the navigation
pane and click Verify.
- Click Verify in the Verify window. The tool displays
a scrolling window for viewing status messages as the verification proceeds.
- Save the application.
Results
Archive files have been verified. The following list includes,
but is not limited to, areas that the verification process has checked:
- Required deployment properties contain values.
- Values specified for environment entries match their associated Java types.
- In both Enterprise application (EAR) and Web application (WAR) files:
- The target enterprise bean of the link exists for EJB references.
- The target role exists for security role references.
- Security roles are unique.
- Each module listed in the deployment descriptor exists in the archive
for EAR files.
- Files for icons, servlets, error and welcome pages listed in the deployment
descriptor have corresponding files in the archive for WAR files.
- For EJB modules:
- All class files referenced in the deployment descriptor exist in the JAR
file.
- Method signatures for enterprise bean home, remote and implementation
classes are compliant with the EJB 2.0 specification.
What to do next
If your application module contains EJB modules,
generate code for deployment.
Otherwise, you are ready
to deploy this application module (or stand-alone Web module) onto the application
server.
