Deployment options

• One of the main issues of the application is the ability to dynamically download a J2EE server and have it up and running.

InstallAnywhere

We can use:

1. InstallAnywhere Now! for free
2. Open source installer

Custom installation manager

• A Host Uber-wrapper Gui (HUG) downloads an archive (.jar or .zip) of the J2EE server preloaded with a configuration, WARs and EJBs, then extracts it to a location on the users machine. From there the user can start and stop the server from the HUG which is accessing the server locally.

• HUG is the the gateway for updating, adding content to, starting, stopping, etc....., the host.

Java Web Start

• JWS downloads all the required resources. From the HUG the user starts the server and everything is dynamically loaded through JWS's class loader without extracting any files.

• Problems with this
  classloading issue

Also, Java Web Start was primary designed for rich client side apps.
