CHAPTER 19

exteNd Application Server Deployment Plan DTDs

Deployment plan DTD files are used when you deploy J2EE archives to the Novell exteNd Application Server or the SilverStream eXtend Application Server. The DTDs (XML document type definitions) describe the structure you must follow when writing deployment plans (XML files) for particular archives.

This chapter includes these topics:

• DTD location

• DTD files

• DOCTYPE statements

DTD location

The DTD files are located in the Novell exteNd Common\Resources\DTDCatalog directory. You can learn about the DTDs by looking at:

• The DTD files themselves (for comments about the elements they define)

• The chapter on deployment plan DTDs in the application server's help system (for more detailed reference documentation about each element and how to structure them in your XML files)

    To learn about support for writing and using deployment plans in the exteNd Director development environment, see:

• Archive Deployment

• Deployment Plan Editor

DTD files

For each type of J2EE archive, there's a corresponding deployment plan DTD. The specifics of the DTD depend on which server and version you are deploying to. This section includes:

• Novell exteNd Application Server DTD files

• SilverStream eXtend Application Server DTD files

Novell exteNd Application Server DTD files

They are as follows:

SilverStream eXtend Application Server DTD files

They are as follows:

DOCTYPE statements

The deployment plan must reference the correct DOCTYPE.

Authoring the plan with the Deployment Plan Editor   When you author the deployment plan using the Deployment Plan Editor in the exteNd Director development environment, the editor inserts the correct DOCTYPE statement based on the project's server profile. If you change the server profile, the Deployment Plan Editor will ask if it should update the deployment plan's DOCTYPE statement.

Authoring the plan with your own editor   If you author the deployment plan in a different editor, make sure it references the correct DOCTYPE. The DTD files supplied with the exteNd Director development environment include the DOCTYPE statement as a comment at the beginning of the file. This DOCTYPE is for use with the Novell exteNd Application Server. If you deploy to the SilverStream eXtend Application Server, see the section below for the correct statement to use.

SilverStream eXtend Application Server DOCTYPE statements

These are the DOCTYPE statements for SilverStream eXtend Application Server 4.x:
