AutoDeploy 0.5.6

AutoDeploy a automatic J2EE deployment tool. It's a perfect complement to automatic build tools such as CruiseControl or AntHill.<br /><br />The build tools provide an archive (named artifact) and the end of the process.<br /><br />Mainly, this archive is a tar.gz or zip file containing a lot of things such :<br /> . applications (ear, war or ejb-jar)<br /> . configuration files which must be presents in the application servers classpath<br /> . some SQL scripts to create or update a database<br /><br />In an industrial point of view, it's the role of the J2EE administrator to take the archive and to deploy on a targetted environment. Depending of the request from the development team or customers, the J2EE administrator :<br /> . chose an application server product (such as BEA Weblogic, IBM Websphere, JBoss)<br /> . setup the application server with all required components for the application (connection pools, datasources, JMS queues, etc)<br /> . most of the time, create or update a database with script provided in the archive<br /> . deploy the applications<br /><br />The J2EE administrator normally performs the same steps for each builds in the build tools output.<br />It requires a lot of work when the J2EE administrator manage a lot of environment.<br />AutoDeploy takes the hand one time the build tools have provided the archive. It automatically updates targetted environments using a main XML descriptor file.<br /><br />The J2EE administrator must only maintain the main XML description file by hand or using the web admin console WebAutoDeploy.
