If a default composite application is undeployed, the default revision is automat-
ically changed to the last deployed revision.
Deploying,
redeploying,
and
undeploying
composites
Composites are deployed and redeployed as SOA Archives or SARs, which are
similar to traditional JAR files. Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware
Control provides the ability to deploy, redeploy, and undeploy a SAR from the
convenience and simplicity of a web browser. Though deploying via the console
is extremely easy, the following two important points should be considered:
•
A SAR file is a special JAR file that requires a prefix of
sca_
and may in-
clude environment-specific information bundled within the JAR file. For ex-
ample, the composite may reference a web service on some external devel-
opment server. The URL of this web service is hardcoded in the JAR file.
Deploying the same JAR to a production server would not be valid.
•
Deployment of multiple composites via the console is cumbersome and time
consuming. Using ant is the preferred method for deploying multiple SARs
and this will be covered in a subsequent section in this chapter.
Deploying a composite
To deploy a single composite from the console:
1.
On the navigator, expand
Farm_[Domain]
|
SOA
and right-click on
soa-in-
fra
.
2.
Navigate to
SOA Deployment
|
Deploy
.
3.
In the field labeled
Archive is on the machine where the web browser is
running
, click on the
Browse...
button and locate your SAR file (for example,
C:\svn\SOA11g\HelloWorld\deploy\sca_HelloWorld_rev1.0.jar)
.
