hi;
i think its a good idea to provide a small subset of the installation of the AVK (for performing static checks on EAR files and all other things thast do not require the sun server installation).
also, are the runtime checks mandate the sun server? is it possible to use other servers?
thanks
Hi,
The AVK does use many of the app server's core classes to process the deployment descriptors in an applicaiton so for this reason we can not easily create a bundle which is a subset. However, to run the static checks on an EAR file the app server is required to be installed but not up and running.
The runtime checks are specifically for the Sun Java Systems Application Server. These checks are not
included in the static checks when running the AVK. They are included only in the verifier tool which is part of the application server. As always the verifierication tools only verifiy what is in the archive. So if the archive does not include Sun's runtime descriptors those tests are not run.
