You can use the Update asset wizzard to update classes,
composites, wsdl, xsd, and definitions.xml files in an asset.
Before you begin
Import one or more assets. The file name of each deployable
object in the imported assets is shown on the list of assets on the
administrative console Assets page.
About this task
You can update all or part of the contents
of assets that are in the product management domain. Complete the
following steps to update an asset using the administrative console
Update asset wizard. Alternatively, you can update assets using programming
or the wsadmin tool.
Procedure
- Go to the Update asset wizard.
- Click to access the Assets page.
- Select the check box beside the asset that you want
to update.
- Click Update.
- On the Update asset page, specify whether you want replace
an entire asset or update its contents and, as needed, the replacement
file or module.
- Select an update option.
You can update
asset contents by adding, deleting, or updating a single file or module
in the asset, or by merging multiple files or modules. Update options
include the following:
- Replace entire asset
- Replace specific asset contents
- Add module or file to asset
- Remove file or module from asset
- Merge asset contents
The online help for the Update asset
page describes the options.
- If you are updating specific asset contents or removing
a file or module, specify the path beginning with the asset archive
file.
For Specify the path beginning with
the asset archive file, specify a relative path to the
file that starts from the root of the asset file. For example, if
the file is located at com/company/greeting.class in
module hello.jar, specify a relative path of hello.jar/com/company/greeting.class.
- If you are updating the entire asset, updating an asset
file or module, or merging asset contents, specify the full path name
of the new file or module.
- Click Next.
- On the Select options for updating an asset page, specify
asset settings and click Next.
The
online help for the Select options for importing an asset page describes
the settings.
- On the Summary page, click Finish.
Results
If you update an asset packaged as a library JAR file that
is not a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition
(Java EE) archive, then the product automatically distributes the
updated asset to all of the composition units that use the asset.
However, if you update a Java EE asset, then the product does
not automatically distribute the updated Java EE archive to composition
units created from that asset, which are Java EE applications. You
must select every Java EE application created from that asset and
use the Update button to update the Java EE
application individually by specifying the update contents.
What to do next
Create a business-level application and add the asset
to the business-level application.
