asadmin utility and remote deployment
Hi,
I'd like to install a web application (.war file) using the asadmin.bat utility from my windows machine.
My SJSAS is on a different Solaris machine
I have no SJSAS installed on my local PC.
Is it possible to use the asadmin for that remote deployment.
From what I've looked in the asadmin.bat script I can see that it is looking for a local installation of a SJSAS.
If not, is there any other way to deploy web application remotely (not using the admin console, but using a cmd line option - like the manager utility in Tomcat)?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can deploy to a remote host by using asadmin command:
asadmin deploy --host [your solaris machine] [your war file]
The "--host" option allows you to specify a host to deploy the application to. The default is localhost.
You could type "asadmin deploy" to see all the available options.

Thanks for the reply.
here is the asadmin script I use. You can clearly see that it relies on the fact tha a SJSAS is installed in the local machine. Is there a way to use the asadmin utility without first installing the SJSAS?

Yeah, I think you are right. Even the asadmin deploy command allows you to deploy to a remote host. The client side still needs to have a full installation of appserver to invoke the asadmin deploy command.
I know there is an effort to split the appserver libraries so the client side installation only needs to be a subset of a full installation. But I don't think that work is completed yet.
For now, you have to install the appserver on the client side too.
