This plugin takes a war/ear file and deploys that to a running remote application server at the end of a build. The implementation is based on Cargo. The list of currently supported containers include:

  • Tomcat 4.x/5.x
  • JBoss 3.x/4.x
  • Glassfish ?

Refer to the Deploy WebSphere Plugin to deploy to a running remote WebSphere Application Server.

How to rollback or redeploy a previous build

There may be several ways to accomplish this, but here is one suggested method:

  1. Install the Copy Artifact Plugin
  2. Create a new job that you will trigger manually only when needed
  3. Configure this job with a build parameter of type "Build selector for Copy Artifact", and a copy artifact build step using "Specified by build parameter" to select the build.
  4. Add a post-build action to deploy the artifact that was copied from the other job

Now when you trigger this job you can enter the build number (or use any other available selector) to select which build to redeploy. Thanks to Helge Taubert for this idea.

    Any plans on adding support for WebLogic 10.3 now that Cargo 1.0 is implemented, or would it be pretty easy to integrate myself?

    is it possible to deploy the war or ear as 1 of the build step and not that the end of the build?

    Feature request: Server restart.

    Use Context: Plugin deploys a war to tomcat server on each build (initiated by svn commit) to represent a dev environment.

    Issue: After several clean deployments, plugin hangs on a deployment, requiring a manual tomcat restart which allows the plugin to complete and in turn allowing Hudson to mark the job as complete. Otherwise, the job remains open causing a Hudson job queue buildup.

    Maybe its not a prevalent issue and there is another automated way to handle this?

    Version 1.5 is not working for me, no invoke of deployment procedure. Deployment environment tomcat 6.x.

    So I returned to version 1.4, there it is working fine.

    Version 1.5 wasn't working for me either.. I wasn't getting any output from it. Then I revert to 1.4 which worked only on the first deploy. On the next build it tried to deploy to my tomcat again but it tried to deploy to the same context and failed. It really should have done an undeploy then a deploy. SO I just changed my code to use this as part of my maven build command in hudson and switched off the deploy plugin.
    tomcat:deploy-only -Dmaven.tomcat.update=true

    It would be nice to use the plugin though.

    Actually I remove my deployments from tomcat and started again and the deploy plugin is working fine now . Tomcat must have ben confused. But version 1.5 still isn't working for me.
