The applications in one of the following formats are managed using the setup:

• J2EE applications in the archive format
  In this format, the configuration file of the J2EE application components is in the working directory of the J2EE server.
  
• J2EE applications in the exploded archive format
  In this format, the configuration file of the J2EE application components is not in the working directory of the J2EE server. This format uses the configuration files external to the J2EE server as logical J2EE applications.
  

For details on the J2EE application formats, see 13. Formats and Deployment of J2EE Applications in the uCosminexus Application Server Common Container Functionality Guide.

With the setup operations, you manage J2EE applications configured by the following components:

• J2EE application consisting of servlets or JSPs
• J2EE application consisting of Enterprise Beans
• J2EE application consisting of servlets or JSPs and Enterprise Beans

You can also include and manage resource adapters in J2EE application components.

When a J2EE application is in the archive format, you can use the components to make additions to the J2EE application and to create new J2EE applications. For details on creating J2EE applications, see 7. Creating J2EE Applications.
