FlexDeploy download zip contains plugin jar files (application/plugins for Tomcat download and plugins for Weblogic download). You just need to 1) copy plugins from download zip to plugins folder in your installation (details explained below) and 2) all files will be automatically uploaded and 3) activated on the server startup.
This auto upload process is very useful during initial install as well as when upgrading FlexDeploy, but you can use the procedure any time.
- Locate flexagon.fd.install.root folder for your FlexDeploy installation, which is FlexDeploy working directory. This is specified on the Java command line. For example, -Dflexagon.fd.install.root=c:/temp/flexdeploy/application.
- For Tomcat, you can look for this information in setenv.bat or setenv.sh file depending whether using Windows or Unix.
- For Weblogic, find it in the managed server startup settings.
- Create plugins folder, if it does not exist under this folder. This is where you will be copying files from download zip.
- Copy the all or desired plugins from the extracted zip to plugins location derived above. Find plugins in download zip as shown below.
