Chapter 3. Applications
Applications are deployed on the Enterprise Application Platform. They are user-facing, providing services and interfaces such as web sites, APIs, and other resources.
These application types can be managed through the Admin Console Applications section of the interface:
- Enterprise ARchives (EARs)
- Web Application aRchives (WARs)
- Resource Adapter aRchives (RARs)
- Enterprise Java Bean archives (EJBs), both EJB2 and EJB3
EARs can contain other application types. When EARs containing other applications are deployed, these embedded applications are shown in the Embedded
Application_Type section of the Admin Console. Control of these embedded applications is through the parent EAR.
