we use ant for building and deploying to weblogic. we have a fragmented process. one build process to build an archive for deployment which is sent (via ftp) to a holding area. there's quite a few steps in there, but basically, it's pull from cvs, compile the code, build the ear and web app, and package it up into an archive file (we're using .tar unfortunately atm).
deploying then happens also via ant tasks. tech services has a shell script that basically just calls our deploy script to deploy when it's convenient for them. our deploy script does several things to get deployed to wls. it first undeploys the existing apps from the running server (to clean out cached WEB-INF/lib jar files). then it shuts down the servers using ant java tasks. next, it copies in our versioned config.xml using ant filters to set it up for the needed environment. finally, it starts the servers again using ant java tasks, and then deploys the components to the various servers. backing out right now is as simple as running the deploy process on the previous version. all wls config changes are accounted for, and any library changes are cleaned up and ready to go. now, if we could only find time to include a method to inteligently handle database changes as well. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 2:36 PM > To: Ant Users List > Subject: Any recommended methods for build and deployment in weblogic > and jboss servers? > > > Hi all, > > I know that this is a rather open question. > > Are there any recommended ways of building and deploying > application to > weblogic and jboss servers? > > For example, in build, using Ant in only the build server, > then create > packages (what type of format for weblogic and jboss?) then > deliver (rsync? > ftp?) and deploy (stop and start the server, what is the best > way? run some > ant scripts? or?) > > > Thanks > > B. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
