How to Download and Deploy Sample EAR Files for Testing

If you are learning how to use Java Enterprise applications, you may want to download and deploy some sample EAR files for testing. EAR files are archives that contain one or more modules, such as web applications, EJBs, or connectors. They can be deployed on application servers that support the Java EE specification, such as Tomcat, Glassfish, Wildfly, or WebSphere.

In this article, we will show you how to find and download some sample EAR files for testing, and how to deploy them on different application servers.

Finding and Downloading Sample EAR Files

There are many sources of sample EAR files on the internet, but some of them may be outdated or incompatible with your application server. Here are some reliable sources that we recommend:

The official Tomcat website provides a sample WAR file that contains a simple servlet and JSP application. You can download it from here. Note that Tomcat does not support EAR files by default, so you will need to use TomEE or another Java EE compatible server to deploy an EAR file on Tomcat[^1^].

The official Glassfish website provides a quick start guide that details the deployment of a complete application that consists of a web module, an EJB module, and a connector module. You can download the source code and the EAR file from here. The application is called trading and it is located under the javaee7-samples directory[^1^].

The Cargo Tracker project is an open source application that demonstrates how to use Java EE 7 technologies to implement a domain-driven design. It consists of a web module, an EJB module, and a JPA module. You can download the source code and the EAR file from here. The application is called cargotracker and it is built for Glassfish 4.1[^2^].

The Java EE 7 Samples repository contains a collection of samples that demonstrate various features of Java EE 7. You can download the source code and build the EAR files using Maven. The repository contains instructions on how to do so[^2^].

Deploying Sample EAR Files

The process of deploying an EAR file may vary depending on the application server you are using. Here are some general steps that you can follow:

Copy the EAR file to a location that is accessible by your application server.

Start your application server if it is not already running.

Access the administration console of your application server using a web browser.

Navigate to the section where you can manage applications or modules.

Select the option to install or deploy a new application or module.

Browse to the location where you copied the EAR file and select it.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the deployment process.

Verify that the application is deployed successfully by accessing its URL or testing its functionality.

You may need to adjust these steps according to your specific application server and configuration. For more details, please refer to the documentation of your application server. 061ffe29dd
