Creating an EGL deployment descriptor in the EDT IDE

The EGL deployment descriptor provides the details necessary to deploy a service or Rich UI application; and provides resource-binding detail when you generate a logical unit that invokes a service or connects to a database.

Before you can perform this task you must create an EGL project.

The process described here is not available in version .7.

To create a new EGL deployment descriptor file, do as follows:

  1. In the EGL perspective, click File > New > Other. The New window opens.
  2. In the New window, expand EGL and click Deployment Descriptor.
  3. Click Next.
  4. In the Source folder field, select an EGL source folder in an EGL project. You can add a deployment descriptor only to EGL projects.
  5. Type a name for the file in the EGL deployment descriptor file name field.
  6. Click Finish.
The new deployment descriptor file is created and opens in the editor.
