Creating EGL deployment descriptors

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:

  1. 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 to EGL projects only.
  5. In the EGL deployment descriptor file name field, type a name for the file.
  6. 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:
