Deploying Application Files from the Command Line

You can deploy a Java CAPS Repository-based project to GlassFish Application Server from the following command-line utilities:

• asadmin

• asant

These instructions assume that you have built an application file. See Building an Application File.

Deploying from the asadmin Utility

The application server includes a command-line utility called asadmin for performing administrative tasks.

To deploy an application file from the asadmin utility, use the deploy command. For example:

asadmin deploy C:\JavaCAPS6\dpFTQFprjFTQF.ear
Command deploy executed successfully

For detailed information about the asadmin utility, see the GlassFish Application Server Administration Guide.

Deploying from the asant Utility

The application server includes a command-line utility called asant for invoking Apache Ant.

To deploy an application file from the asant utility, use the sun-appserver-deploy task. The following example is a simple application deployment script. The file and passwordfile attributes are shown. Other attributes are implied.

<sun-appserver-deploy
file="${assemble}/dpFTQFprjFTQF.ear"
passwordfile="${passwordfile}" />

For detailed information about the asant utility, see the GlassFish Application Server Developer's Guide.
