I know the app servers like Websphere and Weblogic have remote deployment capabilities that can be scripted with either Ant tasks or Jython. Is there something equivalent for JBoss? Basically, if I have a server at some known location and I have appropriate credentials, how do I deploy to JBoss remotely?

    Deploying to a remote JBoss AS is not easy because JBoss AS doesn’t provide much help in that area. But here are some ideas/suggestions:

    • Use the JBoss JSR-88 implementation (which is pruned in Java EE 6 and will thus be removed in Java EE 7, but this give you some time).
    • Use the underlying DeployManager as suggested by @skaffman and either upload your deployable to the remote server and use the file:// protocol or put it on a web server and use http://.
    • Use Cargo (but there is a limitation, the deployable must be uploaded to the remote server first).
    • Use the jboss-maven-plugin which uses the JMX deployment interface and thus supports remote deployment (see MJBOSS-3) as we saw above.
    • Or simply upload your deployable (FTP, SCP) to the remote machine and move them remotely to the deploy directory.
