We are using two fairly lightweight methods for remote service deployment. One is some custom code using ssh to launch scripts on remote nodes. The other wraps UIMA-AS application clients and services as servlets and uses a distributed application server platform to manage them. The servlet wrapper can be easily made based on the UIMA_Service class. It is a little more complicated to automatically create a WAR file from a UIMA Pear. Hopefully at some point we can clean up what we have and add it to SVN. Eddie
