ANT ServerDeploy User Manual

ServerDeploy element

Description:

The serverdeploy task is used to run a "hot" deployment tool for vendor-specific J2EE server. The task requires nested elements which define the attributes of the vendor-specific deployment tool being executed. Vendor-specific deployment tools elements may enforce rules for which attributes are required, depending on the tool.

Parameters:

Nested Elements

The serverdeploy task supports a nested classpath element to set the classpath.

Vendor-specific nested elements

Parameters used for all tools:

Also supported are nested vendor-specific elements.

Generic element

The following attributes are supported by the generic element.

Attribute	Description	Required
classname	This is the fully qualified classname of the Java based deployment tool to execute.	Yes

Nested Elements

The generic element supports nested <arg> and <jvmarg> elements.

Example

This example shows the use of generic deploy element to deploy a component using a Java based deploy tool:

    <serverdeploy action="deploy" source="${lib.dir}/ejb_myApp.ear">
        <generic classname="com.yamato.j2ee.tools.deploy.DeployTool"
            classpath="${classpath}"
            username="${user.name}"
            password="${user.password}">
            <arg value="-component=WildStar"/>
            <arg value="-force"/>
            <jvmarg value="-ms64m"/>
            <jvmarg value="-mx128m"/>
        </generic>
    </serverdeploy>

WebLogic element

The WebLogic element contains additional attributes to run the weblogic.deploy deployment tool.

Valid actions for the tool are deploy, undeploy, list, update, and delete.

If the action is deploy or update, the application and source attributes must be set. If the action is undeploy or delete, the application attribute must be set. If the username attribute is omitted, it defaults to "system". The password attribute is required for all actions.

Attribute	Description	Required
application	This is the name of the application being deployed	Yes
component	This is the component string for deployment targets. It is in the form <component>:<target1>,<target2>... Where component is the archive name (minus the .jar, .ear, .war extension). Targets are the servers where the components will be deployed	no
debug	If set to true, additional information will be printed during the deployment process.	No

Examples

This example shows the use of serverdeploy to deploy a component to a WebLogic server:

    <serverdeploy action="deploy" source="${lib.dir}/ejb_myApp.ear">
        <weblogic application="myapp"
            server="t3://myserver:7001"
            classpath="${weblogic.home}/lib/weblogic.jar"
            username="${user.name}"
            password="${user.password}"
            component="ejb_foobar:myserver,productionserver"
            debug="true"/>
    </serverdeploy>

This example shows serverdeploy being used to delete a component from a WebLogic server:

    <serverdeploy action="delete" source="${lib.dir}/ejb_myApp.jar"/>
        <weblogic application="myapp"
            server="t3://myserver:7001"
            classpath="${weblogic.home}/lib/weblogic.jar"
            username="${user.name}"
            password="${user.password}"/>
    </serverdeploy>

JOnAS (Java Open Applicaton Server) element

The JOnAS element contains additional attributes to run the JonasAdmin deployment tool.

Valid actions for the tool are deploy, undeploy, list and update.

You can't use user and password property with this task.

Attribute	Description	Required
jonasroot	The root directory for JOnAS.	Yes
orb	Choose your ORB : RMI, JEREMIE, DAVID, ... If omitted, it defaults to the one present in classpath. The corresponding JOnAS JAR is automatically added to the classpath. If your orb is DAVID (RMI/IIOP) you must specify davidhost and davidport properties.	No
davidhost	The value for the system property : david.CosNaming.default_host .	No
davidport	The value for the system property : david.CosNaming.default_port .	No
classname	This is the fully qualified classname of the Java based deployment tool to execute. Default to org.objectweb.jonas.adm.JonasAdmin	No

Nested Elements

The jonas element supports nested <arg> and <jvmarg> elements.

Examples

This example shows the use of serverdeploy to deploy a component to a JOnAS server:

    <serverdeploy action="deploy" source="${lib.dir}/ejb_myApp.jar">
        <jonas server="MyJOnAS" jonasroot="${jonas.root}">

           <classpath>
               <pathelement path="${jonas.root}/lib/RMI_jonas.jar"/>
               <pathelement path="${jonas.root}/config/"/>
           </classpath>
        </jonas>
    </serverdeploy>

This example shows serverdeploy being used to list the components from a JOnAS server and a WebLogic server:

    <serverdeploy action="list"/>
        <jonas jonasroot="${jonas.root}" orb="JEREMIE"/>
        <weblogic application="myapp"
            server="t3://myserver:7001"
            classpath="${weblogic.home}/lib/weblogic.jar"
            username="${user.name}"
            password="${user.password}"/>
    </serverdeploy>
