Application Structure
We are trying to design the best structure for our first application and need some guidance.
Any web sites with details on determing the best structure or just some advice
would be greatly appreciated.
Our application has several main areas which contain html, jsp, javascript, java classes, session beans and entity beans. The main areas within the app are:
- importcontains classes for importing various files.
- maintenance contains classes for matching data from the files to existing table data
- admincontains classes for maintaining tables
- commoncontains classes used by import, maintenance, admin.
How should the deployment be set up? Should each area be a separate EAR/WAR file?
We've been using JAR files to deploy to the app server and copying the jsp files through
Explorer but wanted to change to EAR/War files.
Currently, we are each working on our own sections.. I'm working on the import and have
some classes that should be moved to a common package so the developers working on maintenance and admin can also use them.
We are using JBuilder 5 and have our source code on our c: drive until we determine how we should structure the application. We haven't selected a Version Manager yet but may be using Rational at a later date. We use Jaguar 3.6.1 for our web/app server.
Thanks for any help!
