deploytool(1m)						    Application Server Utility						    deploytool(1m)

NAME

       deploytool - launches the deploytool utility to deploy, package, and edit your J2EE applications

SYNOPSIS

       deploytool [--help] [--userdir user_directory] [--configdir configuration_directory]

       Use  the  deploytool  utility to deploy and package your J2EE applications and components, create and edit J2EE deployment descriptors, and
       create and edit J2EE Application Server specific deployment descriptors. If the application is not J2EE compliant, an error message is dis-
       played.

       Only  one  session of the deploytool utility can run with a specific user directory. A lock file is created to ensure that only one utility
       session is running. A message is displayed if a lock file is detected.

OPTIONS

       --help			displays the arguments for launching the AssemblyTool.

       --userdir	       identifies the user directory. The default user directory is  .deploytool  under  your  home  directory.  Only  one
			       deploytool  session  can  be  running per user directory. A lock file is created under the user directory to ensure
			       that only one session of the deploytool is running. The deploytool utility uses this directory to store	configura-
			       tion information.

				 o  On Solaris, the default directory is at ~/.deploytool

       --configdir	       identifies the configuration directory. The configuration directory is where the asenv.conf file is located.

			       On Solaris the asenv.conf can be found at:

				 o  Bundled installation: /etc/appserver

				 o  Unbundled installation: default is /etc/opt/SUNWappserver7 or user	specified

				 o  Evaluation	installation:  AS_SERVER_INSTALL/config.  Where  AS_SERVER_INSTALL is the directory where you have
				    installed the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition 1.4 Application Server Beta 2.

EXAMPLES
