Re: deployment environment

[Gus Heck]

This gave me a crazy idea, and I don't know if it works, but I wonder if 
one could use JNLP/webstart to handle this since it has facilities for 
handling JDK requirements and such. I am not sure how you get the war 
file deployed that way, but it could possibly pull a pre-configured 
tomcat.... I don't know. The more I think about it, the more 
configuration issues seem to get in the way. Though perhaps you could 
have a small web app that collected the config information, created the 
config files and created a package for the site and then served a 
dynamically generated jnlp file to pull the user's package?

This would have the advantage/drawback of making the tomcat instance 
nearly unconfigurable after the fact I think. Actually, it might not 
work at all. I don't know if webstart can create a directory tree for 
tomcat to work in...

Starting to sound like too much work though... I suppose it depends on 
the savy of the admins at the sites and how many sites you have.

Just a random thought, and I suspect it won't work now that I have 
actually finnished writing this, but I might as well hit send :)

Hi,
I have an intranet application created locally struts framework, tomcat/with a sybase database. I want to distribute to the intranet sites of other users. So basically I need to install tomcat, JDK, .war and the database engine. So my question... What is the best way to install this all at other places ? Install everything seperately ? Or using a Wise, or installshield program ?  And what if there is allready a JDK installed ? or somebody has another idea... ? 
Thanks
