Configuring Deployment Properties

Set the properties for packages being deployed on Unwired Server.

1. When the Deploy wizard loads, click Next.
2. Review the Deployment File name, or click Browse to navigate to the appropriate file.
   You can select either a single deployment unit (.XML) or an archive file (.JAR).
   The name of the Package Name appears. If this package does not already exist, the wizard displays a message that indicates the new package will be created. The name cannot exceed 64 characters or include any periods (".").
3. Select a Deployment Mode.
   The deployment mode determines how the deployment process handles the objects in a deployment unit and package. Which value you choose depends on whether or not a package of the same name already exists on Unwired Server. Allowed values are:

   • UPDATE – updates the target package with updated objects. After deployment, objects in the server's package with the same name as those being deployed are updated. By default, deploymentMode is UPDATE.
   • NOCLOBBER – deploys the package only if there are no objects in the target server's package that have the same name as any of those objects being deployed.
   • REPLACE – replaces any of the target objects with those in the package. After deployment, the servers package contains only those objects being deployed.
   • VERIFY – do not deploy package. Only return errors, if any. Used to determine the results of the UPDATE deploy mode.

   If the deployment mode is specified both in the descriptor file and the command-line, the command-line deploymentMode option override the deployment mode specified in the descriptor file.
4. If you did not choose a deployment archive as your deployment file, you may browse and select an optional deployment Descriptor File:
5. Click Next.
6. Select a Domain to deploy the package to.
7. Select a Security Configuration for the package.
8. Click Next.
   The Configure Role Mapping page appears.

• Deployment Archives
  An archive is produced after a developer creates a package profile and executes a build on a package. This archive can only be created in the Eclipse edition of Unwired WorkSpace.
• Deployment Descriptors
  A deployment descriptor is an XML file that captures changes to the deployment unit during deployment. Those changes are then used when a package is redeployed.
