Create the application.xml file that is required as a component to configure EAR files. The following is an example of creating application.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application version="6" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd">
 
  <description>Sample application &quot;dispatch_provider&quot;</description>
  <display-name>Sample_application_dispatch_provider</display-name>
  <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>dispatch_provider.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>dispatch_provider</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>
</application>

When creating web.xml of version 5, specify 5 in the version attribute of the application element and specify http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd as the second location information in the xsd:schemaLocation attribute..

The created application.xml is saved in the c:\temp\jaxws\works\dispatch_provider\server\META-INF directory with the UTF-8 format. For notes on creating application.xml, see 5.2.2 Notes on editing application.xml in the uCosminexus Application Server Application Development Guide.
