war-deployment-examples

This project is an example of how to deploy wars to your server with Chocolatey for Windows, RPM's for Unix, and Docker Images.

How to create a packaged war for easy deployment

To create packages, run: mvn install This will run mvn compile, mvn test, mvn package, and mvn install (and maybe a few more in there).

mvn package will create a chocolatey packagen, rpm package and a docker image. These packages depend on Apache Tomcat.

choco install war-deployment-example will install the package on windows, and rpm war-deploment-examples.rpm will install the package on unix.

###The install process is (basically) as follows:

1. Determine Dependencies (Tomcat, etc)
2. Install Dependencies
3. Install Package files
4. Post Install Package - Call a deployment script to tell Tomcat "HEY IM A WAR, DEPLOY ME!"
5. Done

###The uninstall process is (basically) as follows:

1. Pre-Uninstall - Call a deployment script to tell Tomcat "HEY UNDEPLOY ME!"
2. Uninstall files
3. Done

Testing

While in the folder with .nupkgfile : cinst war-deployment-examples -pre -source %cd% -force -debug

-pre allows filenames similar to "war-deployment-examples.0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.nupkg". This is needed because -SNAPSHOT is a 'pre-release' in choco land. -source %cd% specifies that the source DIRECTORY is the current directory. Source does NOT point to a file. -force will install the package even if it is already installed. -debug will display debug output
