How to deploy a web application in ORION

[david, chen]

Hi, there:
Could any one give me some idears about how can I deploy a web application in ORION server? In tomcat, I just copied my war file in /webapps. How can I do in Orion with the same war file? where should I put my war file, and what .xml file should I modify to deploy. Thanks a lot.

Either run "java -jar orion.jar -console" or double-click on "orionconsole.jar". Right-click on your server (ormi://localhost) and select "Install application". You'll also be able to access some handy tools from the Assemble menu to create EJBs, tag libraries, Web applications (.war), and enterprise applications (.ear). You can run these separately as well, they have their own .jars.
They may not be the slickest tools available, but they sure beat editing the .xml files.

-In the foll instructions I use anApp.war...substitute for yours
-Copy war file anApp.war to c:\orion\applications
(or wherever you have orion\applications dir)
-Modify application.xml and add this line:-
<web-module id="anApp" path="../applications/anApp.war " />
-Modify default-web-site.xml to include this line:-
<web-app application="default" name="anApp" root="/anApp" />
-If orion is not already started..start it.
-Invoke url http://localhost/anApp/servlet/SomeServletYouHave
or
http://localhost/anApp/SomeJsp.jsp

Yo,
I think you want to goto http://www.orionserver.com/ and do a search for "auto deploy". 7, 7.1 and 7.2 of the result describe setting the "application-auto-deploy-directory" attribute of the "application-server" tag in the server.xml file... The attribute is not there by default. Anyway this will allow you to drop an ear file (which can contain a war file) and automatically configure the deployment. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Now known as Mary Magdaline? Looks like your new display name might fall into the "obviously ficticious" category. Please take a minute to change your display name again.
Thanks and hope you'll be visiting the ranch often.
