Newbie Question: Various easy questions hopefully..
I admit, Im a newbie with the Sun Appserver.
We're looking at migrating from Websphere to Sun.
1- When I deploy the application into the Appserver (8.2) I get a whole bunch of files and directories that are not part of the application, e.g.
a netcharts directory, an Acme directory a i18nresources directory etc etc... never got this with Websphere...
a) What is this stuff
b) Is there anyway to stop this stuff spamming my application directory.
2- A couple of times now, the appserver seems to have just exited without a trace.. with websphere we're used to getting a javacore on error or something in the logs. Any ideas ?
3- With Websphere we were able to just jar up the direcory the app was deployed into and unjar it to another server. Since the deployment seemed to add a bunch of stuff, how do we take a copy and move it on to another server ?
Thanks!

Where do you see these files? Is it under AS_INSTALL/domains/domain1/applications or under AS_INSTALL/domains/domain1/generated directories?
In the deployment process, if it's an archive deployment, we extract the contents from the archive being deployed into domains/domain1/applications and go from there.
And also as we process stuff, we put some processed information under domains/domain1/generated to avoid future processing.

Was there anything in the server.log when this happened? The log file is located under $AS_INSTALL/domains/domain1/logs/server.log

I am still not sure what the added stuff you referred to. But in general (say your application is foo.ear), you should be able to jar up the bits under domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-apps/foo and move it to another server.
