Configuring the Deployment Settings

This task describes configuring the deployment settings which apply to all deployed OC4J targets created in JDeveloper, including the JDeveloper embedded OC4J server.

To configure the deployment options:

1. Choose Tools | Preferences from the main menu.
2. Click the Deployment node.
3. Configure the following deployment options as required:
   1. Default Deployment Output Directory: Relative to Project Directory or Absolute Directory: By default, JDeveloper writes the J2EE archives (JAR, EJB.jar, EAR, WAR) to the current project's /deploy directory. However, you can change this default location for another directory location of your own choosing.
      Notes:
      • JDeveloper displays the full path for the J2EE archives in the Deployment Log window after the application files are deployed.
      • When a relative path cannot be determined, JDeveloper uses absolute paths. For example, an absolute path cannot be used is if a deployment profile (.deploy) and a .jar file that it refers to reside in different drive letters on Windows.
   2. Compile Before Deploying: relevant if you are planning to deploy J2EE modules which have cross-project and cross-profile dependencies.
   3. Select Automatically Fill In <ejb-ref> Elements in web.xml to have JDeveloper automatically insert any <ejb-ref> elements to the web module deployment descriptor, web.xml, whenever EJB dependencies are included in the WAR profile. If this checkbox is deselected, you should make sure that the web.xml is complete and accurate before deployment.
