I have been asked by a project manager whether I am able to take a snap shot of a fresh WLS5.1 install, then when all apps are on and configs are down take another snap shot to create an image file for production servers.
His idea is that all he wants to do is only bring across file, classes, property files and system files that are required for the server to perform it's job in relation to the application. Don't ask me why, but this is a route he wants to explore. Why he can't just be happy with installing a fresh copy I do not know!
Any ideas or experience with this?

Since 5.1 doesn't really mess too much with registry, it could work... But, you gotta make sure your jdk and any support classes/files are set up the same way as your image's workstation. Otherwise you'll still have to go in and edit all of your configuration files. For production servers, this is not the path I would want to take!

Joe, thanks. I also agree that this is not the right path to take. This route is being looked at as a way of reducing the delay that is created when classes are compiled for the first time. I have suggested that before the server goes in to prodcution that the application is used by a dummy user so the required classes are ready.
Is what I have suggested the usual procedure?
