Summary

The late binding of server-specific information as you assemble and install an application is one of the benefits of the J2EE architecture, and is what allows components of an application to be reused in multiple scenarios. In this chapter we have reviewed the assembly of the web and enterprise bean components into the complete application. The references within the components were resolved, and the complete application was built. This process can be completed using the WebSphere Application Assembly Tool, but for newly created applications it is easier to complete the assembly within Studio, as we did in this chapter. We also reviewed the deployment of an application, and the installation of that application into the Studio unit test server and a production server.
