Creating a Deployment Profile for BC4J Archives

Before deploying a BC4J project, you must have already created a project with business components using the Business Components Package Wizard. JDeveloper creates all the necessary code to deploy business components to a simple archive.

To create a deployment profile for a BC4J simple archive:

  1. Make sure that you've completed all the BC4J prerequisites for deployment to OC4J or Oracle Application Server or WebLogic.
  2. In the Navigator, select the bc4j_project_icon <BC4J_project>.jpx for which you want to create a deployment profile.
  3. Right-click and choose Create Business Component Deployment Profiles from the context menu.

    Note: You can also choose File | New to open the New Gallery. In the Categories list, expand General and select Deployment Profiles. In the Items list, double-click Business Components Archive.

  4. On Step 1 of the Business Components Deployment Wizard, select Simple Archive Files and move it from the Available list to the Selected list.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the Simple Archive Files dialog, in the Profile Name field, enter or browse to the full path and name for this deployment profile.
    Note: The BC4J deployment profile should be named with a .bcdeploy filename extension. This name also becomes the display name in the Navigator.
  7. Click OK.
    8. The BC4J archive deployment profile is created. The BC4J deployment profile icon bc4j_deploy_profile_icon <ProjectName>.bcdeploy appears in the Navigator below your project.
  8. To deploy the BC4J archive, see Deploying BC4J as a Simple Archive File.
