Today you saw how to deploy the MVC application that you have been developing over the past 15 days. You saw how the J2EE application is divided into Web components, EJB components, and resource adapter components, and you saw the deployment descriptor files associated with each of them. You then saw the corresponding archive files to be made for them. The application.xml and web-application.xml files to be made for deploying the application were covered next.

WAR + JAR + RAR + application.xml (inside the META-INF directory)
