I've been playing with the Service console. It took me way longer to
create, install and deploy a J2ee app using the console than it did when I
did everything myself on the command line (creating the directory
structures, creating very simple deployment descriptors, creating the jar
and war files and finally editing the server.xml and default-web-site.xml
files).
I know the console is said to be "alpha" quality - but was just curious - is
any one out there using the console on a regular basis? Do you find it
really useful? In what scenarios do you find this more useful - while
creating and deploying apps or for monitoring or for redeploying apps?
There seems to be a great deal of functionality in the console, however the
lack of documentation/help is a big drawback.
