[Opensource] ear file

[Mike Traum]

war and ear files represent an entire webapp so anything that you need for
the webapp needs to be bundled together. If you have separate webapp's, you
will want to keep the ear's separate. Not that I'm an expert, but I know of
no advantage of using ear's - it really depends on how you deploy your
application. Some app servers allow you to automatically deploy an ear from
your IDE directly to the server. Others, like Tomcat, have no such ability,
so you really gain nothing when using a ear.

Subject: [Opensource] ear file


hi all,

I have downloaded expresso ear file, and on the other
hand, I have also developed my application using
expresso classes. Right now, my classes shared the
same directory as expresso in web-inf directory. In
later production environment, I should package my
application together with expresso as a single ear
file? Let said if i have a few applications and not
only 1 application. Then should I package all these
applications together with expresso as a single ear
file or should i separate them? What's the advantage
and disadvantages, please advise, thanks.
