Deployment Options

[meetoblivion]

Hi

I was wondering if there are any other deployment options when it comes to deploying apps on jboss? I know you can just copy the file into the deploy directory and it will load, but I was hoping for something more robust (ie a web gui like you see in other app servers, such as Tomcat, WebLogic and Oracle IAS)

Thanks

Hi,

well, you can also use the "MainDeployer" MBean:
http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-11338
But I found that this MBean is only partially supported in JBoss 5.
And unfortunately, an application deployed through the MainDeployer is only available until the next server restart.

JBoss contains also an implementation of JSR88 deployment, but JSR88 deployments are not persistent, too.

Best regards

Wolfgang

Install Jopr Embedded (http://www.jboss.org/embjopr/), it will let you deploy apps. You will have to get the source from trunk and build it because it contains the deployment functionality while the binary download does not.

Or you could install Jopr (http://www.jboss.org/jopr/) - it is a more complete management and monitoring solution and the binary supports deployment.
