How to deploy rar/ear/war file to IBM Web Sphere Application Server 7.0 using maven?


How to deploy rar/ear/war file to IBM Web Sphere Application Server 7.0 using maven i.e. automatic deployment without any manual intervention?


Solution

  • Did you google this? It is not trivial to deploy to Geronimo servers via Maven but there are many many ways and each require much configuration (I have done a lot of this) and Websphere 7.0 is based on Geronimo so I think you will have work to do. There are many plugins (geronimo specific from apache and things like Cargo http://cargo.codehaus.org/Deploying+to+a+running+container) but nothing I see for Web Sphere specifically.

    This bloger has done it using the ANT plugin and calling the Web Sphere deploy scripts using Maven http://sdudzin.blogspot.com/2007/09/maven-2-and-websphere-automated-build.html

    That should work
