IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V8.5 and V9.0, Core Administration — Question 36

When installing applications to IBM WebSphere Application Server, what is one important difference between RAR files and SAR, WAR, EAR, and JAR files?

Answer options

• A. They contain no Java code.
• B. They are deployed to the web server.
• C. They can be installed at different scopes.
• D. They use a different compression protocol.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as RAR files are specifically designed for resource adapters and are deployed to the application server, not the web server. Option A is incorrect because RAR files can contain Java code. Option C is misleading since the scope of installation can be similar for various file types. Option D is incorrect as RAR files do not inherently use a different compression protocol compared to other archive formats.
