Headless Deployment Test Specification

Author: Jiri Skrivanek
Version: 1.1
Last update: 2006/04/06
Introduction: This is test specification of headless deployment. The aim of headless deployment is to reduce the number of changes which are necessary in order to make building, deployment, etc. of NB projects work without the IDE.
Comment: Supported servers are only Tomcat 5.5.x and Glassfish. Tomcat doesn't support re-deploy (i.e. it is not possible to deploy the same application twice over). On Unix can be problem to detect default browser.
