THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
To perform these activities you currently have three options available:
- Geronimo Administration Console
- #Deployer tool (command line)
- #Hot deployment (command line)
When you package your application you may include the deployment plan within the package or not. At deployment time, Geronimo will look for the geronimo-web.xml and web.xml deployment plans in the WEB-INF directory within you packaged application. If Geronimo can not find those descriptors it will attempt to deploy the application using defaults. If using defaults fails you will have to provide a deployment plan either repackaged in the application or providing an external deployment plan, in the following sections we will discuss further these alternatives.
