Packaging Java EE assets for an entire module

When you package Java EE assets for an entire module, the steps are different, depending on whether your module will be deployed to a target WebSphere Commerce Server that uses the same, or different, type of database as your development environment.

About this task

There are different types of modules in Java EE:
EJB beans
  • If you are creating an EJB JAR file that is being deployed to a target WebSphere Commerce Server that uses the same type of database as your development environment, follow the instructions contained in Packaging your module without EJB backend conversion.
  • If you are creating an EJB JAR file that is being deployed to target WebSphere Commerce Server that uses a different type of database from your development environment, follow the instructions contained in Packaging your module with EJB backend conversion.
Web modules
If you are deploying customizations to the Management Center, you must package your changes as a Web module by following the instructions contained in Packaging Management Center files for deployment.
