A deployment descriptor is an extensible markup language (XML) file that specifies configuration and container options for an application or module.
You can edit a deployment descriptor file manually. However, it is preferable to edit a deployment descriptor using an assembly tool deployment descriptor editor to ensure that the deployment descriptor has valid properties and that its references contain appropriate values.
After an application or module is installed on a server, you can view its deployment descriptor in the administrative console.
<application id="Application_ID" > <display-name> DefaultApplication.ear</display-name> <description> This is the IBM WebSphere Application Server Default Application.</<description> <module id="WebModule_1" > <web> <web-uri> DefaultWebApplication.war</web-uri> <context-root> /</context-root> </web> </module> <module id="EjbModule_1" > <ejb> Increment.jar</ejb> </module> <security-role id="SecurityRole_1130344639273" > <description> All Authenticated users role.</description> <role-name> All Role</role-name> </security-role> </application>
Change a deployment descriptor as needed in an assembly tool or using the console.
