What is the Pramati Server Deployment Process?
Deploying a J2EE application means porting the application to a J2EE server. A J2EE application consists of:
- Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) components such as entity beans, session beans, and Message Driven Beans (MDBs)
- Web components such as JavaServer Pages™ (JSP), HTML pages, servlets, and related files
- Connector components such as resource adapters
The J2EE application design blueprint identifies a deployer as one who ports an application to a specific operational environment. A deployer can use J2EE tools to perform deployment tasks effectively.
Archives, such as Java Archives (JARs), Web Archives (WARs), Enterprise Archives (EARs), and Resource Archives (RARs) can be deployed on an application server. To run an application, you need to start a standalone server or cluster, and deploy the archives.
How do I Deploy Applications?
An application can be deployed on the Server in the following ways:
- Using Deploy Tool
- Using the autodeploy directory (Drag-and-Drop)
- Using Exploded Archives
- Using the Pramati Server Management Console (referred to as the Console hereafter)
- Using the Server Shell
Server ships with a Deploy Tool that enables you to deploy enterprise applications on a local or remote Pramati Server. For further details, read Using Deploy Tool.
How do I use Drag-and-Drop?
The Drag-and-Drop service is used to deploy applications by moving the deployable archive to a particular directory called the AutoDeployer directory. For further details, read Drag-and-Drop J2EE Applications.
Pramati Server now allows applications to be deployed right off the working directories. This feature is used during development stages. For further details, read Deploying Exploded Archives.
How do I use the Console?
Using Pramati Server Management Console, applications can be deployed as .ear, .jar, .war .rar, or .par (Prepared Archive) files. For further details, read Deploying Applications Using Console.
How do I use Server Shell Operations?
You can use the Server Shell to deploy applications. You can use the interactive mode and the batch mode. For further details, read Deploying Applications Using Server Shell.
