For an introduction to configuration with Ant, see Chapter 2, “Ant-Based Configuration,” in the Automated Configuration Guide.
For EJB components, the configuration file includes the following:
Ant property definitions for commonly configured properties, described in “Commonly configured properties”.
A configure-default target,
which sets the package and component properties. This target executes
when you configure the component using the Management Console or the configure command-line
tool.
A recompile-default target,
which regenerates the classes required to run the components in
EAServer. This target executes when you recompile the component
using the Management Console or the recompile command-line
tool. This target also executes the configure-default target.
A refresh-default target,
which loads or reloads the implementation classes and generated
classes into the server. This target also applies changes to properties
that affect run-time behavior, such as JNDI name bindings or security
constraints.
