BTW, I got deploy to work using the Deployer bean. However, for hotdeploy to work, i would have to undeploy the module and then deploy it. The Deployer bean gives me a nice deploy method where i can specify the location of the jar,
However, the undeploy needs a moduleId. I saw the code and found out that i will have to pretty much extract the moduleId myself from the AppInfo and then give that moduleId to undeploy. I think instead of doing this stuff in the o.a.o.config.Deploy, we could add a convenience method to the DeployerEjb called undeploy(String location). Would it make sense to have something like this or am I totally on the wrong track? On 7/2/07, David Blevins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

So I'm looking into the command line deploy functionality and hoping to get something plumbed in in a short amount of time. I was thinking we'd use a variation on this idea. Basically, we would check to see if we can connect to the server and if so we'd deploy via the Deployer ejb which is what the VmDeploymentManager uses. If we can't connect to the server then we could just add a Deployments entry to their openejb.xml or maybe just copy the archive into the apps/ dir if they have one and print a message saying they've deployed offline and the app should be picked up when openejb is started. -David
