We need to be able to deploy a web application (packaged as a .war file) to
remote servers from a maven build process, almost certainly running within
Hudson. Here's a similar requirement stated just about a year ago:
http://old.nabble.com/Hudson-to-Glassfish-deployment-to22668824.html
It appears that the maven-glassfish-plugin
(
https://maven-glassfish-plugin.dev.java.net) provides no remote-deployment
capability (unless I'm missing something). Elsewhere on the 'net, I've seen
recommendations to use maven's exec plugin to script the asadmin executable
-- something I would certainly like to avoid (i.e. the external, unmanaged
dependency of a glassfish install just to drive deployments from a build
environment).
It seems that my other option would be to invert the relationship: use
glassfish embedded, and simply push new versions of the app + glassfish to
the servers in question, and coordinate startup/shutdown of app instances
using something like chef or puppet.
For contrast, that same option is of course available with jetty as well,
and it appears that the cargo maven plugin supports straightforward
deployment to remote, established jetty instances:

Surely someone is doing continuous deployment with Glassfish. Any pointers
are most welcome.
Thanks in advance,
