Via Deployer tool

Anchor
deployertool deployertool

The deployer tool will allow you, among other things, install and uninstall applications via a command line. In this section we will focus on just these two tasks for the sample application, the remaining functionality is fully covered in the Deployer tool section.

To deploy the HelloWorld.war sample application using the Deployer tool open a command line window and type the following command from the <geronimo_home>\bin directory:

deploy --user system --password manager deploy <app_home>\HelloWorld.war

If your application does not include the Geronimo specific deployment plan in the WEB-INF directory you can still, just like with the Geronimo Administration Console, specify it externally. You just need to add to the previous command the path and file name of the deployment plan.

deploy --user system --password manager deploy <app_home>\HelloWorld.war <deployment_plan_home>\plan.xml

Note that when specifying the deployment plan externally you can use any file name to identify that plan, there is no need to use the geronimo-XYZ.xml form. In our example we do not need to specify any additional deployment plans as we have the Geronimo specific ones already included in the package.

Once deployed you should see a confirmation message similar to this one with moduleID sample.applications/HelloWorldApp/2.0/war assigned to this application within your deployment plan:

D:\geronimo-tomcat6-jee5-2.0-M2\bin>deploy --user system --password manager deploy \HelloWorld_2.0\HelloWorld.war
