Hi, I wrote a servlet-based application (http://freshmeat.net/projects/bugzero/) and found that, no matter how simple the application itself is, the deployment process is still somewhat complex, specifically, one needs:
1. Install servlet engine and probably need do some configuration. 2. Install database and probably need create some database accounts. 3. Add the application software. a. modifying properties/conf files. b. moving files around to fit the servlet container installed. c. modifying the servlet container's classpath d. ... 4. Probably need download the corresponding jdbc driver (or have to bundle them). 5. Probably need different instructions for each servlet container. 6. ... This might sound pretty simple for people on this list, but, for average people including even some java developers, this is certainly not a very straight forward process. I wonder how can this process be simpfied. (Make a war file seems to be not a solution in cases like above) Thanks, -Samuel. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
