Automated Deployment to OC4J in Maven2

Below are example Maven2 Profiles that will deploy/undeploy a WAR to an OC4J Instance. For information on exactly what each parameter does and everything else about working with the admin_client.jar, consult your Oracle Application Server documentation.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Phillip Anderson for this work.


<!-- The base installation directory of OC4J -->
<oc4j.home>C:\JEE\AppServers\oc4j</oc4j.home>

<!-- The string needed to deploy to an OC4J Instance; This would be different for a standalone oc4j instance -->
<oc4j.deployer>deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost/home</oc4j.deployer>

<!-- The admin userid for OC4J -->
<oc4j.user>oc4jadmin</oc4j.user>

<!-- The password for the OC4J admin user -->
<oc4j.password>admin</oc4j.password>

This is good stuff. Any thought to contributing this to the cargo project?

Using ${file.separator} for when you need a "/" or a "\" will make the arguments in the exec plugin section more platform-independent. One of my biggest pet-peeves is Maven scripts that won't work in linux and on my Mac.

@robmadole - If you just use forward slashes everywhere, Java will convert them to backslashes automatically.

Hi, how I set file-based security provided on ear deploy?
Thanks
