GWS Deployer 1.9.17 : Reloaded : New Features Part 1

It has been a while since my last post, but I'm back :)

I worked hard on new features that will bring GWS Deployer to another level. You can check the features that were there before 1.9.17 in my previous post here

It will be easier to list the new features by looking at the command line parameters.

Usage: com.sun.grizzly.http.servlet.deployer.GrizzlyWebServerDeployer

  -a, --application=[path]*   Application(s) path(s).

                              Application(s) deployed can be :
                              Servlet(s), war(s) and expanded war folder(s).
                              To deploy multiple applications
                              use File.pathSeparator

                              Example : -a /app.war:/servlet/web.xml:/warfolder/


  -p, --port=[port]           Runs Servlet on the specified port.
                              Default: 8080

  -c, --context=[context]     Force the context for a servlet.
                              Only valid for servlet deployed using
                              -a [path]/[filename].xml

  --dontstart=[true/false]    Won't start the server.
                              You will need to call the start method.
                              Useful for Unit testing.
                              Default : false

  --libraryPath=[path]        Add a libraries folder to the classpath.
                              You can append multiple folders using
                              File.pathSeparator

                              Example : --libraryPath=/libs:/common_libs

  --autodeploy=[path]         AutoDeploy to each applications.
                              You could add JSP support.
                              Just add a web.xml that contains Jasper

                              Example : --autodeploy=/autodeploy

  --cometEnabled=[true/false] Starts the AsyncFilter for Comet.
                              You need to active this for comet applications.
                              Default : false

  --forceWar=[true/false]     Force war's deployment over a expanded folder.
                              Will deploy the war instead of the folder.
                              Default : false

  --ajpEnabled=[true/false]   Enable mod_jk.
                              Default : false

  Default values will be applied if invalid values are passed.
