You can use the following asadmin commands to deploy or undeploy web or EJB modules on local servers.
deploy — Deploys a web or EJB module. If the module is already deployed, you can force redeployment by setting the --force option to true. You can also deploy a module in an expanded directory structure. See Directory Deployment.
redeploy — Redeploys a web or EJB module that is already deployed. Whenever a redeployment is done, the sessions at that transit time become invalid unless you use the keepSessions=true property of the asadmin redeploy command.
disable — Immediately disables a web or EJB module. Disabling a web module makes it inaccessible to clients.
deploydir — Deploys a web or EJB module from an expanded directory structure. Deprecated; use asadmin deploy instead.
