You can use the Application
Deployment Descriptor editor to add existing projects in your workspace
to your enterprise application as new modules.
About this task
For each module that you add
to the enterprise application, a <module> element
is defined in the deployment descriptor (application.xml).
Tip: There are shortcuts for adding
modules or utility JAR files to an enterprise application. Within
the Enterprise Explorer view, drag a project and drop it into either:
- The Modules or Project Utility
JARs section on the Modules page in the Application Deployment
Descriptor editor.
- The Modules or Project Utility
JARs folder under the deployment descriptor for the enterprise
application.
Procedure
- In the Enterprise Explorer view of the Java™ EE perspective, right-click the deployment
dDescriptor for your enterprise application project and select to open the application deployment descriptor editor.
- In the Modules section of the Module page, click Add.
- Select the existing project in your workspace that you
want to add as a module to the application.
- Click Finish. The
selected module is added to the enterprise application.
- If the target server specified for the module is different
from the target server specified for the enterprise application, the
Change Target Server dialog opens. Click Yes to
update the target server for the module to be the same target server
specified for the enterprise application.
What to do next
To remove a module from the enterprise
application, select the module from the list of Modules, and click
Remove.
