redeploy

["Spotts, Joel (ISS Atlanta)" <js...@us.ibm.com>]

I am looking for the easiest way to redeploy an EAR after adding a web
application. The EAR has other webapps which added or modified some
files, so I need the current EAR directory structure to remain as is.
The only way I can see now is as follows:

A) copy the entire ear directory to a temp staging area.
B) modify application.xml 
C) add the new webapp
D) run the deployer tool to redeploy the ear

I would like to find a solution which does not require copying the
current ear structure to another location, That seems wasteful. Is there
an easier way?

Thanks,

Yoel Spotts

If you are deploying in-place, there is no need to copy the EAR.  You
should be able to just modify the application.xml, add the new web app to
the EAR structure, and run the deployer tool to redeploy the EAR file.

If you are not deploying in-place, then I'm not sure you can avoid copying
out the EAR.  Someone else might have more knowledge in this area.
