Packaging web applications

Describes methods of packaging the runtime files and resources of your web applications and services using the fglgar tool.

Introducing the GAS and JGAS
The Genero Application Server (GAS) is an engine that plugs in to a Web server for the purpose of delivering Genero Web applications and services. The Genero Application Server for Java (JGAS) is designed to run your applications on the Java EE servlet. A general knowledge of how they operate can be helpful in testing and deploying Web applications.
Understanding packaging with GAS
Before deploying applications on a GAS installation, you need to package the required compiled files and resources in a Genero archive file. The fglgar command provides this function and you can find out here what is involved in this process.
Deploying applications on GAS
Follow these procedures to build archives for deploying applications and services with fglgar.
Packaging war files
Using the fglgar tool to build a Java Web Archive (war) file allows you to deploy applications that are ready to run.
Running applications from a war file
Applications packaged in a Java Web Archive (war) file can be executed with the fglgar tool's run command.
Packaging examples
With the fglgar tool you can immediately see the results of a Genero Web Application or Web Service during your development stage without having to install a Web server or a GAS package.
