Question regarding creating SPAR file

Hi all,

When creating a SPAR, can I just create a JAR or ZIP file, and add all files/directories under iwhome and iwmount (using iwgethome and iwgetmount), to that newly created jar/zip? Are there any other steps to be done?

Thanks.

Need to create the manifest. But in a nutshell you have the steps. Easier to write a perl or ant script if you are doing this often.

Need to create the manifest.

To clarify, that's not a JAR manifest but rather an XML file that defines additional EAs to apply after deployment. It's not required if you don't need it though. The key thing is the folder structure within the ZIP, which is documented to some extent in the SitePub dev guide. You can also look at some example SPARs under TeamSite/install for guidance (just rename to ZIP and open using any archive tool).
