How does one deploy a server extension?

Not sure if this is covered in the online documentation on Jazz.net, but I
was curious how one would go about providing a set of plugins to deploy
along with the Jazz.war (or do we simply repackage Jazz.war with the new
extensions)?

I am interested in finding how to do this as well.

As of the 0.5 release, you would need to repackage the WAR. There is work in progress to provide a better provisioning mechanism for extensions.

Note: if you have previously run the jazz.war before you repackage it, you would need to clear the directory <tomcat>/work/Catalina/localhost/jazz before you restart the server. Also, remove the <tomcat>/webapps/jazz directory.

is there a solution now in M4 or Beta2 to provide extensions to the jazz.war without repackaging it?

Yes, there is an alternative Server SDK available where it is possible
to add new server components. There is more information here :

Hi

I tried to use the provisioning server to deploy a server component, using the instructions on the wiki page (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/UsingJazzProvisioner) as suggested. However, my attempt hasn't been successful. More specifically, everything went well with the instructions until I did:

$ ./repotools.bat -import fromFile=backup.tar

The complaint I got is that my bundle "is invalid, it is not RESOLVED."

Does anybody have any idea what's going on? Thanks for any insight and help!

Annie

It looks like the r4 doc is missing a step to edit the server.startup(.bat) script to point to the profile.ini. I changed it (as per the instructions in r3) and it worked...
