Since GT 4.2, globus-deploy-gar command will NOT overwrite the existing deployment unless |
Example I:
$ globus-deploy-gar /tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar
The above command will deploy the globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar into Java WS Core installation directory. The above command invokes the deployGar task in the build-packages.xml Ant build file. The above example is equivalent to running:
$ ant -f $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/globus_wsrf_common/build-packages.xml deployGar \
-Dgar.name=/tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar
The profile name can be passed using the -Dprofile Ant option. To enable back up of the existing configuration files add the -DcreateBackup=true Ant option. Make sure to use the absolute path name for the gar file when using Ant directly.
Example II:
$ globus-deploy-gar -tomcat /soft/tomcat-5.5.20 \
/tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar
The above command will deploy the globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar into Apache Tomcat. The above command invokes the deployGar task in the tomcat-service.xml Ant build file. The above example is equivalent to running:
$ ant -f $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/globus_wsrf_common/tomcat/tomcat-service.xml deployGar \
-Dgar.name=/tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar \
-Dtomcat.dir=/soft/tomcat-5.5.20
By default the GAR file will be deployed under the "wsrf" web application. To specify a different web application name use -Dwebapp.name=<name> option.
