It can be useful to
run a SAS Web application from an exploded EAR file rather than an
EAR file when you want to debug or develop new JavaServer Pages (JSP).
SAS provides the Web applications as exploded EAR files in
SAS-config-dir\Lev1\Web\Staging\exploded.
Deployment of modified EAR files from an exploded directory varies
with the Web application server as follows:
JBoss Application Server
JBoss has direct support
for deployment of exploded EAR files. To deploy an exploded EAR file,
move the exploded directory to the deploy_sas directory.
Because the exploded directory name must be the same as the original
EAR file, the original EAR file must be removed from the deployment
directory.
Oracle WebLogic Server
WebLogic Server has
direct support for deployment of exploded EAR files. To deploy an
exploded EAR file using the WebLogic Server Administrative Console,
select the full path to the exploded EAR.
IBM WebSphere Application Server
WebSphere Application
Server explodes deployed EAR files on its own. Deployed files must
be either EAR files or WAR files.
Starting with WebSphere
Application Server 6.1, you can update an existing deployed application
with individual files or modules. By selecting the full path to the
JSP or WAR directory, individual components of a modified, exploded
EAR file can be used in a deployed application. You can use the Integrated
Solutions Console to update a deployed application.
