MainDeployerMBean - deploy war using HTTP url

[srividhyak]

I am trying to use MainDeployerMBean.deploy(URL)  method to deploy a war from a remote system.

code snippet:

String serverURL = "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://host:1090/jmxconnector";

JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL(serverURL);
JMXConnector jmxc = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url, env);
MBeanServerConnection server = jmxc.getMBeanServerConnection();               

MainDeployerMBean deployerMBean =(MainDeployerMBean)MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(
                                                server,
                                                objectName,
                                                MainDeployerMBean.class,
                                              false);
 
deployerMBean.deploy(new URL("http://localhost:8090/webjars/test.war"));

Deploy throws the following exception

java.io.IOException: No context factory for http://localhost:8090/webjars/test.war

     at org.jboss.virtual.VFS.getVFS(VFS.java:232)

I read from here that HTTP urls are not supported. Is there a JIRA report for this ?

Is there any other mechanism that I can use to deploy a war from a remote host/location ?

Thanks,

Srividhya
