Packaging for the application server

Creating a package involves gathering and organizing all required files and resources for an application. You package in a Genero archive file, before you can deploy to the Genero Application Server (GAS).

To create a package:
  1. Identify the files required by the application. See here.

    If you created your project using the Desktop Project (.4pw) or BAM Desktop Project (.4pw) options, a default application configuration file (.xcf) resides in the ‘resources’ directory.

  2. Create a package node in your Genero Studio project, and set its properties. See here.

    If you created your project using the Desktop Project (.4pw) or BAM Desktop Project (.4pw) options, you already have the default directory structures to organize and locate project files. In this case, your project directory contains an src directory for source modules and a bin directory for executable files.

  3. Create or update the directory nodes in your package node, and set their properties. See here and here.
  4. Create an application configuration file. See here.
  5. Build the Package. See here.
