With our home-made build system (which we're probably going to replace with Maven in 
the near future) we can already do this. We have components ready for 4 application 
servers and 3 databases, which leads to an even bigger amount of combinations to test, 
but we're able to and that's handy!

In between point 2 and 3 mentioned below, we run the database scripts on the dbserver 
to make sure the database is empty and stuff... This in case the app.server cannot 
create the tables automatically.

If you need help, I'll be there...

Subject: j2ee component deployment


Hi,

looking at the build-j2ee.xml, there are targets to automate the assembly of war 
and ear files.  Are there any plans to provide automation of the deployment / 
updating of these assembled components within j2ee containers?

e.g. ear files to common j2ee servers - weblogic, websphere, jboss.  similarly 
war files to tomcat etc.

This would presumably require an extension of project.xml to describe which 
container was in use and properties specific to those containers - location, 
username, password etc.

This could lead the way to automating the testing of new builds within the 
deployment environment.

1) build / assemble
2) unit test
3) deploy
4) tests against deployed environment.

Might make sense to leverage the new support for j2ee deployment to common 
containers in available in ant 1.5.

Cheers
Nathan
