Transitioning notes for deployment topics

When you upgrade the application server to a newer version, be aware of product changes and settings that you might want to change.

  • [8.5.5.16 or later]DefaultApplication example no longer contains Increment.jar

    For 8.5.5.16 and later, the DefaultApplication example contains the snoop and hitcount examples, but does not contain Increment.jar. Previous to 8.5.5.16, DefaultApplication contained Increment.jar with an entity EJB. For differences in the deployment descriptor, see Viewing deployment descriptors.

    Changes to DefaultApplication might affect deployment commands.

  • [8.5.5.16 or later]Deploying EJB in an EAR file for RESTful views of an EJB with local interfaces

    The name of the property that disables the exposure of EJB classes with JAX-RS annotations in EJB JAR files changed to correct a typo.

    • For Version 8.5.5.15 or earlier, use the com.ibm.webshere.jaxrs.server.DisableIBMEJBJAXRSInEJBJarSupport property.
    • [8.5.5.16 or later]For Version 8.5.5.16 or later, use the com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.server.DisableIBMEJBJAXRSInEJBJarSupport property.
