TIBCO BusinessEvents® Enterprise Edition 6.3.1

# Enterprise Archive (EAR) Files

You can build an enterprise archive file using a TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio dialog, and also using a command-line utility.

Certain files (and folder names) are excluded from the EAR. To maintain the list of exclusions, in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio, select Window > Preferences > TIBCO BusinessEvents > Code Generation > Ignored Resources.

Note: Do not store the EAR file in a project folder, because this will include the previous EAR file when you build the EAR file again, needlessly increasing the size.

## EAR File Encoding

- The default encoding of the EAR files generated by TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio is `ISO8859-1`. This is also the default encoding of TIBCO Administrator. To upload an EAR file to TIBCO Administrator, the EAR file encoding must match the TIBCO Administrator encoding.
- To change the default EAR file encoding, define a global variable named MessageEncoding and set its value to the desired encoding. For example, UTF-8.

## EAR Files and the Studio Tools Utility

You can build an EAR file with the Studio Tools command-line utility. The `buildear` operation within the `studio-tools` utility is useful for automation purposes, for example, in testing environments.

By default, the EAR files are built in memory. The compiler does not use the file system during code generation. Studio generates, compiles, and packages all resources in memory until the build process is completed.

Before you build an EAR file during hot deployment of the new concept and concept properties, make sure to add the following property in the `studio-tools.tra` file:

    java.property.com.tibco.be.hotdeploy.concept=true
