Calling Existing Application Installers from N1 SPS

If the installation script for your application already exists, you can create a component template and call the installation script from the component template.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component xmlns='http://www.sun.com/schema/SPS' 
name='DeployMyComponent'
version='5.0'
description='Deploy and configure My Component'

path='/com/sun/foobar'
author='OEM Platforms'
softwareVendor='Sun Microsystems'
xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.sun.com/schema/SPS component.xsd'>

<extends>
<type name='system#container'></type>
</extends>

<varList>
   <var name="bashShell" modifier="FINAL" default="/usr/bin/bash"/>
   <var name="installPath" default="/opt"/>
</varList>

<installList>
   <installSteps name="deployMyComponent" access="PUBLIC">

    <execNative userToRunAs='root' timeout='7200'>
      <inputText><![CDATA[
