Programmatic redeploy using DeploymentManager

[juergen.zimmermann]

Can org.jboss.deployers.spi.management.deploy.DeploymentManager be used for redeploying e.g. an EAR?

If so, are there any examples or wiki pages?

Basically you can deploy a new deployment over deploymentManager. So you can use copyContent = true
to copy and deploy a zipped file, or copyContent = false to just deploy the url (this also works for exploded deployments)

Maybe this example helps, if you look at the setUp and tearDown method:
https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk/testsuite/src/main/org/jboss/test/deployers/AbstractDeploymentTest.java

Please note that the usage and interface will most probably change in 5.1.x.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.

To summarize: here are the steps for programmatic redeployment with JBossAS 5.0.0.GA:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ProfileService ps = (ProfileService) ctx.lookup("ProfileService");
ctx.close();

DeploymentManager ds = ps.getDeploymentManager();
// %JBOSS_HOME%\server\default
ds.loadProfile(new ProfileKey("default"), false);

String earName = "foo.ear";
String earUrl = "file:/.../foo.ear";

DeploymentProgress stop = ds.stop(ManagedDeployment.DeploymentPhase.APPLICATION, earName);
stop.run();
checkProgress(stop);

DeploymentProgress distribute = ds.distribute(earName, ManagedDeployment.DeploymentPhase.APPLICATION, new URL(earUrl), false);
distribute.run();
checkProgress(distribute);

private static void checkProgress(DeploymentProgress progress) throws Exception {
 DeploymentStatus status = progress.getDeploymentStatus();
 Throwable failure = status.getFailure();
 if (failure != null) {
 throw new Exception(failure);
 }
}
