When you generate a service or generate a logical unit
(library, handler, or service) that invokes a service, the EGL deployment
descriptor provides service-binding detail.
You can have any number of EGL deployment descriptors in your EGL
project, but you can select only one as the main deployment descriptor
in the deploymentDescriptor build descriptor
option. That main deployment descriptor can include entries from other
deployment descriptor files to link the main deployment descriptor
to the other deployment descriptors without directly copying their
information. Alternately, you can copy the information from one deployment
descriptor directly into another deployment descriptor.
To create a new EGL deployment descriptor file:
- Click . The New window opens.
- In the New window, expand EGL and click Deployment
Descriptor.
- Click Next.
- In the Source folder field, select an EGL
source folder in an EGL project. You can add a deployment descriptor
to EGL projects only.
- In the EGL deployment descriptor file name field,
type a name for the file.
- Click Finish.
The new deployment descriptor file is created and opens in the
editor. You must now configure your project to use the new deployment
descriptor. You have several options to configure your project:
- If this is the only deployment descriptor in your project, set
the deploymentDescriptor build descriptor
option to the name of the deployment descriptor file, and omit the .egldd extension.
- You can include entries from one deployment descriptor in another.
- You can copy the entries from one deployment descriptor into another.
