Is there a simpler way to deploy to WebSphere?

I have seen this question about deploying to WebSphere using the WAS ant tasks.

Is there a simpler way to do this? In the past I have deployed to Tomcat by dropping a war file into a directory. I was hoping there would be a similar mechanism for WebSphere that doesn't involve calling the IBM libraries or rely on RAD to be installed on your workstation.

Solution

  • There is the concept of WebSphere Rapid Deployment. It's supposed to be the same experience as what you describe for Tomcat.
