hello naveen,

the easiest way is to use the deploytool.

create a new EAR file and include your WAR file into it. then connect to your

J2EE server and deploy.

WAR file is not literally converted to EAR file. rather, it is being included into

the package. and EAR file may contain several WAR files...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to convert the .war file to .ear file using the deploy tool as suggested by you. But i'm having problem connecting to the J2EE engine.Our portal is active at port 50000 and hence wanted to

deploy the EAR on the port 50000.While tryin to connect to port

50000 we get the followin error,but connection to other port (50004) does not

throw any error. I tried resetting the user 'Administrator' and the port to 50000 using config tool, but still the same error is being displayed. I also restarted the J2EE engine after makin the changes.

ERROR: Cannot connect to Host: [localhost] with user name: [Administrator]

Check your login info.

Exception is:

com.asap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NamingException:

Exception while trying to get InitialContext. [Root exception is

com.sap.engine.services.security.exceptions.BaseLoginException: Cannot

create new RemoteLoginContext instance.]

Please assist in solving the above issue.

Hi Naveen,

1. Try restarting the server once and deploy.

Are you able login using visual admin?

Hi,

Are you doing the deployment from NWDS? Even though the portal is active on 50000, deployment happens through SDM whose default port is 50018. Which port did you change using config tool?

Hi Naveen,

U have to convert .war to .ear if u want to deploy on J2EE engine.

Use Ant tool in which u need to specify where to deploy and where the source is available.

Simple xml tags.Go through the Ant tutorial.
