Procedure 10.8. Deploy an application using DeployDmrToJson.java

1. Use DeployDmrToJson.java to generate a request to JSON to deploy your application.

   Example 10.1. DeployDmrToJson.java class

   import org.jboss.dmr.ModelNode;
   import java.net.URL;
   
   public class DeployDmrToJson
   {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
     {
       if(args.length < 1)
         throw new IllegalArgumentException("The first argument must be a URL");
   
       URL url = new URL(args[0]);
       String[] pathElements = url.getFile().split("/");
       String name = pathElements[pathElements.length-1];
   
       ModelNode deploy = getDeploy(url.toExternalForm(), name);
       ModelNode undeploy = getUndeploy(name);
   
       System.out.println("Deploy\n------------------------------\n");
       System.out.println("Formatted:\n" + deploy.toJSONString(false));
       System.out.println("Unformatted:\n" + deploy.toJSONString(true));
       System.out.println("\nUndeploy\n------------------------------\n");
       System.out.println("Formatted:\n" + undeploy.toJSONString(false));
       System.out.println("Unformatted:\n" + undeploy.toJSONString(true));
     }
   
     public static ModelNode getUndeploy(String name)
     {
       ModelNode undeployRequest = new ModelNode();
       undeployRequest.get("operation").set("undeploy");
       undeployRequest.get("address", "deployment").set(name);
   
       ModelNode removeRequest = new ModelNode();
       removeRequest.get("operation").set("remove");
       removeRequest.get("address", "deployment").set(name);
   
       ModelNode composite = new ModelNode();
       composite.get("operation").set("composite");
       composite.get("address").setEmptyList();
       final ModelNode steps = composite.get("steps");
       steps.add(undeployRequest);
       steps.add(removeRequest);
       return composite;
     }
   
     public static ModelNode getDeploy(String url, String name)
     {
       ModelNode deployRequest = new ModelNode();
       deployRequest.get("operation").set("deploy");
       deployRequest.get("address", "deployment").set(name);
   
       ModelNode addRequest = new ModelNode();
       addRequest.get("operation").set("add");
       addRequest.get("address", "deployment").set(name);
       addRequest.get("content").get(0).get("url").set(url);
   
       ModelNode composite = new ModelNode();
       composite.get("operation").set("composite");
       composite.get("address").setEmptyList();
       final ModelNode steps = composite.get("steps");
       steps.add(addRequest);
       steps.add(deployRequest);
       return composite;
     }
   }

2. Run the class using a command based on the following instructions:

   Example 10.2. Execute command

   java -cp .:$JBOSS_HOME/modules/org/jboss/dmr/main/jboss-dmr-1.1.1.Final-redhat-1.jar DeployDmrToJson \
   file:///Users/username/support/helloWorld.war/dist/helloWorld.war

3. When the class is run the following command formats will be displayed. Use either the deploy or undeploy command relevant to your requirements.

   Example 10.3. Deploy and undeploy command

   Deploy
   ------------------------------
   
   Formatted:
   {
       "operation" : "composite",
       "address" : [],
       "steps" : [
           {
               "operation" : "add",
               "address" : {"deployment" : "helloWorld.war"},
               "content" : [{"url" : "file:/Users/username/support/helloWorld.war/dist/helloWorld.war"}]
           },
           {
               "operation" : "deploy",
               "address" : {"deployment" : "helloWorld.war"}
           }
       ]
   }
   Unformatted:
   {"operation" : "composite", "address" : [], "steps" : [{"operation" : "add", "address" : {"deployment" : "helloWorld.war"}, "content" : [{"url" : "file:/Users/username/support/helloWorld.war/dist/helloWorld.war"}]},{"operation" : "deploy", "address" : {"deployment" : "helloWorld.war"}}]}
   
   Undeploy
   ------------------------------
   
   Formatted:
   {
       "operation" : "composite",
       "address" : [],
       "steps" : [
           {
               "operation" : "undeploy",
               "address" : {"deployment" : "helloWorld.war"}
           },
           {
               "operation" : "remove",
               "address" : {"deployment" : "helloWorld.war"}
           }
       ]
   }
   Unformatted:
   {"operation" : "composite", "address" : [], "steps" : [{"operation" : "undeploy", "address" : {"deployment" : "helloWorld.war"}},{"operation" : "remove", "address" : {"deployment" : "helloWorld.war"}}]}
   

4. Use the following command to deploy or undeploy an application. Replace json request with the request outlined above.

   Example 10.4. Execute command

   curl -f --digest -u "<user>:<pass>" -H Content-Type:\ application/json -d '<json request>' "http://localhost:9990/management"
