Accessing Java EE Server Resources

Java EE server resources are accessed from the JBI Modules folder in a Composite Application.

To access the available server resources:

  1. Right-click a JBI module EAR file, and then select the Server Resources option. Note that this option is not available in the right-click menu of a stand-alone .ear file.
  2. The Server Resources window appears. If an .ear file has been created, then the EAR artifact is examined for @Annotations, and any sun-resource files.
  3. If the EAR build artifact has not been built, then the resulting dialog box will only contain information from examination of the sun-resource files, and a warning message will appear at the bottom of the dialog box. The warning message states that building the EAR project is necessary to find all resource dependencies.

    If it is later found that scanning the EAR file takes too much time, then [it] can be optimized to generate an .info file during the EAR file build process. The .info file can identify the presence and use of @Annotations. This way, when the Server Resources option is selected, information will be retrieved from the .info file instead of beaming the EAR build artifact.
