EAR file question

[rcorak]

I have a question regarding EAR files. We have an JBOSS web application that we sell as both an SAS or a customer hosted app. I understand the power of packaging all your beans and HTML into one convenient package for deployment. i wanted to know what options are available though to be able to update an individual file within the web application. For example, I make a minor change to an HTML file. Can I just send the new HTML file to customer X but not customer Y without having to create and manage multiple EAR files?

Regards,

Hi Rob,

you could deploy an exploded EAR: http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/ExplodedDeployment

But probably you will avoid confusion if you deliver only full EAR files to your customers. With an Ant task, it might be quite easy to create them.

Best regards
