Changes to fglgar

Starting with version 5.00, changes have been made to the fglgar command features for creating Java Web Archive (war) files and running applications.
  • When creating a war file, you must now use the --web-content option of the fglgar war command to specify the path to the Java Web Content directory of the JGAS installation. As the JGAS is no longer embedded in the FGLGWS package, the --web-content option is now mandatory.
  • The embedded Jetty web server and the standalone JGAS is removed from the JGAS installation. Where before you could execute applications deployed in a war file with the standalone JGAS using the fglgar run command, this feature is no longer available and therefore the fglgar run has been removed.

For details of other changes, such as creating war files for testing and deployment, review the Packaging web applications and fglgar pages. For more information on JGAS, see the Genero Application Server for Java User Guide
