Importing servlet archive (SAR) files

A servlet archive (SAR) file is a portable, packaged Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) application that you can import into your workspace.

Before you begin

Before importing a SAR file, determine if the SAR file contains required Java source files. When you import a SAR file into an existing SIP project, the imported SIP deployment descriptor files are either not changed or are overwritten by the ones that are included in the imported SAR file, based on your response to the prompt. In either case, this action does not represent a merging of the two sets of deployment descriptors.

Procedure

To import the SIP project resources in a SAR file into your workspace:

  1. Click File > Import.
  2. In the Import dialog box, select SAR file and click Next.
  3. Browse to the SAR file that you want to import.
  4. By default, the wizard creates a new SIP project with the same name as the SAR file. If you accept this choice, the project is created with the same servlet version that is specified by the SAR file, in the same location.
  5. To facilitate deployment, associate your imported SIP application with a new or existing Enterprise Application project (EAR Project) by selecting Add Project to an EAR file.
  6. Click Finish to populate the SIP project.
