.war files packaged as RPM for JBOSS/Tomcat - best practices?
Hi,

I'm planing to package WAR files as RPMs. Current deployment process just doesn't work for us and my idea of fixing it would be to create a new Custom Channel in RHN Satellite and publish my WAR files through that Channel. Currently (as we are trying to win some time) I'm managing some config files through Satellite so configs are not a big problem. We don't keep them in WAR for many reasons but that's different story.

Anyway, has anyone packaged WAR as RPMs? Do you do hot deployment or do you force JBOSS/Tomcat to restart? Is that After RPM installation or as a part of it? What's your SPEC file looks like? Can I please see it as an example? Do you check in your SPEC for JBOSS/Java/Oracle client or just install WAR? Any stories to tell? Any major problems?
Should I consider something else?
I can build RPMs no problem but I'd like to hear what's the best way of doing this with WAR files and JBOSS (some Tomcats are still runnig here but they will be phased out soon-ish so I'm not too worried about them).

I do appropriate any input.

Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Chris

yum-builddep

yum-builddep(1) 														   yum-builddep(1)

NAME

       yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM package

SYNOPSIS

       yum-builddep package

DESCRIPTION

       yum-builddep  is a program which installs the RPMs needed to build the specified package.  The source RPM for the specified package must be
       available in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if it is disabled) or it can be a local source RPM file.

EXAMPLES

       Download and install all the RPMs needed to build the kernel RPM:
	      yum-builddep kernel

FILES

       As yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its  default  values  like  which
       repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
