6.3.4: Verifying archives

Verifying archive files is important for successful generation of deployment code for the application. During verification, the Application Assembly Tool checks that an archive is complete, and that deployment descriptor properties and references contain appropriate values. Specifically, the verification process checks the following:

  • Required deployment properties must contain values.

  • Values specified for environment entries must match their associated Java types.

  • In both EAR and WAR files:

    • For EJB references, the target enterprise bean of the link must exist.

    • For security role references, the target role must exist.

    • Security roles must be unique.

  • For EAR files, each module listed in the deployment descriptor must exist in the archive.

  • For WAR files, the files for icons, servlets, error, and welcome pages listed in the deployment descriptor must have corresponding files in the archive.

  • For EJB modules:

    • All class files referenced in the deployment descriptor must exist in the JAR file.

    • Method signatures for enterprise bean home, remote, and implementation classes must be compliant with the EJB 1.1 specification.

If errors are found, a message is displayed in a scrolling window.
