Updating Java EE applications in a Liberty JVM server
There are three methods to update Java™ EE applications in a Liberty JVM server: refresh the CICS® bundles, update the applications in the drop-ins folder, and use <application>
elements.
About this task
- Applications deployed in CICS bundles
In this scenario, the application must be added as a bundle part to a CICS bundle project using CICS Explorer® and then exported to z/OS® File System (zFS). It is then installed into CICS using a BUNDLE definition that refers to the exported project.
- Applications deployed directly to the Liberty drop-ins folder
In this scenario, the Java archive is copied directly to a previously defined drop-ins directory.
- Applications deployed in an
<application>
element into server.xmlIn this scenario, a reference to the application is added into server.xml, together with further application attributes and descriptive elements.
Procedure
Applications deployed in CICS bundles
Applications deployed directly to the Liberty drop-ins folder
