I'm working on a WLS 12.1c locally installed application server (on a VM instance). I deployed apps with the help of the WLS web console. Selecting "install" and selecting the path of the EAR file I wish to deploy. Fine. Works.
However, I wish that the ear is picked up from this same place every time it changes. Otherwise I have to "Delete" the deployment package, restart the server and "install" the EAR again. Too much hassle.
How do I activate auto-deployment?
thanks
If you're in a development setting, you might want to use auto-deployment instead:
Development mode enables a WebLogic Server instance to automatically deploy and update applications that are in the domain_name/autodeploy directory (where domain_name is the name of a WebLogic Server domain).
Note that your Weblogic Server MUST be running in development mode.
Once you add your EAR to domain_name/autodeploy/, from there on out, it will automatically picks up changes to the files in that directory:
To auto-deploy an archived application, copy its archive file to the /autodeploy directory. WebLogic Server automatically sets the application's deployment mode to stage mode.
A deployment unit that was auto-deployed can be dynamically redeployed while the server is running. To dynamically redeploy, copy the new version of the archive file over the existing file in the /autodeploy directory.
See: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24443/autodeploy.htm

I have two war files msg-producer and msg-consumer. How to deploy these two war files onto jboss 6.4.0 simultaneously?
currently deploying one war file like this:
copy war file into EAP\standalone\deployments folder
Run standalone.bat from EAP-6.4.0\bin.
Yes, you can deploy two or multiple WAR files into EAP\standalone\deployments folder.
Each web application will have a different context root, using context root you can access the application.
Yes, You can deploy two or more WAR/EAR files in the JBoss Application server.
Please go through the $JBOSS_ROOT/standalone/deployments/README.txt
There are two different modes 1. auto-deploy mode and 2. manual deploy mode
Manual deployment relies on a system of marker
files, with the user's addition or removal of a marker file serving as a sort
of command telling the scanner to deploy, undeploy or redeploy content.
Auto-deploy mode: The scanner will directly monitor the deployment content,
automatically deploying new content and redeploying content whose timestamp
has changed.
Read the README.txt for more details.
The simplest way I recommend is
Login the JBoss admin console
Under deployments tab, click on "add" and select the required msg-producer and msg-consumer war files. "Enable" checkbox to be selected.
Access the application http://localhost(or_servername):8080/contextroot/
When webapps are deployed via Eclipse to Tomcat, $catalina_home/conf/server.xml is getting overwritten by Eclipse. This means, whatever changes I make to server.xml prior to app deployment is overwritten by Eclipse.
My application uses GridGain and hence I need to add the following line to server.xml:
<Listener className="org.gridgain.grid.loaders.tomcat.GridTomcatLoader" configurationFile="config/default-spring.xml"/>
Since Eclipse overwrites server.xml every time I deploy a new version of the app, I need to instruct Eclipse to insert the above line (this is applicable for all tomcat event listeners) as well during deployment. Is this possible? If not is there a workaround for GridGain based applications to be deployed via Eclipse?
Eclipse uses ${workspace}/Servers/${server-name}/server.xml for its configuration. That directory is created when you setup a new server. It's not overwritten every time you deploy the app but only if you make changes in the server config UI. If you need to add something manually to server.xml then do so and set the file to read-only e.g. directly in Eclipse:
locate the file (see path above)
right-click
Properties
Resource
enable "Read only"
That way Eclipse will ask/notify you everytime it tries to alter the file and you can allow/disallow that.
I have an exploded directory that I am editing in eclipse (created via setting location to directory location when creating New Project, deployed directory already existed). When I deploy this directory from the command line, it does not seem to save it locally (anywhere within glassfish\domain_
If I create a Java EE application in eclipse from scratch and deploy it from Eclipse Run -> on server, it copies it to glassfish\domains\domain1\eclipseapps
Is there a way to have GlassFish save deployed directories locally without using the GlassFish plugin magic?
Short Answer: No.
The whole point of directory deployment is speed and development convenience.
You tell GlassFish to not copy any files at all but to, instead, use the files already laid out on disk.
If you want to run from a copy of your app then just deploy the archive (war/rar/ear/jar) file.
I have developed an web application using HTML, Java Servlet and all. While developing I was using Tomcat to deploy it in order to test it.
Now my development is done and I want to make it live. For that we have live server but as I am new to all this I dont know how to deploy my java web application on live server?
So please help me if you know to answer?

I am also using MySql so what I have to about it..
You will have to build a WAR of the project.
You can do this
in eclipse: right click on the project, Click "Export", and choose war file in the dialog (and mention, the destination, name and all)
via ant using the war task
The ant option is better because when you have multiple developers on the project and the code is in version control, it is easier to get the project automatically (using ant) and build a war. (you have version control, don't you?)
But this is more of an operational difference (albeit an important one) but the war created in either way are same
Deploy the war to the server
You can manually copy the war file to the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory (See the "Creating and Deploying a WAR File" section on this article)
You can use the Tomcat 6 "Manager" application.
Update
You said that you are using MySql also. MySql should be installed on a server (it can be on the same server) and the configuration should be changed (username, password, server details) so that the application connects to the same database (I am sure you are not hard coding database details and credentials in your application and reading them from some configuration, this is the configuration that has to be changed)
For that we have live server but as I am new to all this I dont know how to deploy my java web application on live server?
I assume by this you meant , you have a public IP assigned to a server. Now you can install tomcat into this server and open the tomcat port for public and you will be able to access.
Now build a war file of your webapplication and put it into web-apps dir of the tomcat and start the server
Making a few assumptions here. You need
A tomcat instance running on your production server
Permissions to make changes to the tomcat instance
A war file that bundles your application
If you have both, then you need to navigate to the Tomcat manager page and follow the instructions to upload your war file.
Deploy the war to the server
You can manually copy the war file to the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory.
You can use the Tomcat 6 "Manager" application.
I have created myProj.ear file and copied it into the deploy folder of the JBoss server.. How to run my project after starting the jBoss server?
I have been using war file and
deploying it in Tomcat till now to run
my project.... I am having a new
requirement to run the project in
JBoss. So, I converted my war file
into an ear file using the command Jar
-cvf myProj.ear ., Should I change anything in my project to run
the application in JBoss or just
copying my .ear file in to the jBoss
deploy folder is enough?
JBoss normally support hot deployment - meaning that if your application was deployed correctly (watch the console), it can be accessed via the browser (if you have a UI) or via web services, managed beans or any other interface you have provided.You can see the status of your application on the JBoss Admin Console. You can reach it by typing the URL of your JBoss installation. If you run your vanilla JBoss locally, you should be able to find the console under http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin-console
To reiterate: there is no explicit startup necessary, JBoss handles it for you.
Deploying an application in JBoss is pretty straightforward. You just have to copy the EAR file to the deploy directory in the 'server configuration' directory of your choice. Most people deploy it to the 'default' configuration, by copying the EAR file to the JBOSS_DIR/jboss-as/server/default/deploy directory.
Once copied, just run run.sh from bin, you can use the following params to bind it to an ip (-b) or binding it to anything other port (-Djboss.service.binding.set)
./run.sh -b 9.xxx.xxx.xxx -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-01
Once you run it, Look at the console for error message. If everything goes fine you'd see "Started J2EE application" after couple of seconds.
If there are any errors or exceptions, make a note of the error message. Check that the EAR is complete and inspect the WAR file and the EJB jar files to make sure they contain all the necessary components (classes, descriptors,
jboss-deployment-structure.xml etc.).
You can safely redeploy the application if it is already deployed. To undeploy it you just have to remove the archive from the deploy directory. There’s no need to restart the server in either case. If everything seems to have gone OK, then point your browser at the application URL.
