Can I modify the EAR which was deployed in Web AS

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have deployed an EAR (SampleEAR) which contains one Ejb(SampleEJB) which internally contains one Business logic method. And I have made that Session bean a web service .That method returns "Sucess".Now what i have done is i have opened jar file in the "

F:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\SamplePrjEAR\EJBContainer\applicationjars" named "SampleProject" and replaced the SampleSessionBean class file with the modified class file(I have just modified the Business logic in that method that is now it should return "Failure"). Then i have tried running the webservice but still it is returning "Success" instead of Failure. so pls help me out the way of doing it. Is there any more changes i required to do to achieve the same.

Regards,

Kiran.

Why don't you use the IDE to edit the project directly from there and after to repackage and to redeploy the application?

Firstly I agree with Mladen, you should use the IDE to make changes, repackage and deploy. It's never a good idea to patch jars that way.

Have you tried updating/restarting the service after you deployed the change?

Well, sometimes that's exactly how we used to make changes when an ear took a long time to deploy. Mostly, its the cache in the server that causes the problem. Its a long shot but you can try restarting the server once.

Obviously, what Dion suggested is the best
