Chapter 2. Deploying Red Hat build of OpenJDK applications in containers

You can deploy Red Hat build of OpenJDK applications in containers and have them run when the container is loaded.

Procedure

Copy the application JAR to the /deployments directory in the image JAR file.
For example, the following shows a brief Dockerfile that adds an application called testubi.jar to the Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8 UBI8 image:
```
FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/openjdk-8

COPY target/testubi.jar /deployments/testubi.jar
```
