When using the CloudBees SDK, I can use the parameter "-ep eu" to deploy to EU data center, but how can this be done with the Maven plugin? -ep is reserved to encrypting server password in Maven.
Set property bees.apiurl or plugin parameter to https://api-eu.cloudbees.com/api

I have appfuse maven project , is it better to deploy it using Click start Tomcat or as a Jenkin Maven project? I have tried both but it does not seem to be working in any ways. I have created database and bound it to the app. still it gives error for spring bean creation etc. Can anyone help in this scenario?
If I would need to deploy my appfuse maven application on CloudBees platform, I will try two different ways:
Use the Tomcat 7 Maven ClickStart as a template changing the SCM to your repo.
Use the CloudBees SDK to deploy your application.
In this last case, you just need to generate your .war file, in case you use maven, launching:
mvn clean package
And then you can deploy your application from the CLoudBees SDK using:
bees app:deploy -t tomcat7 -a APPID MYFILE.war
You say that when you deploy your application it gives error for spring bean creation. However, you don't attach any stacktrace to your question, so it is difficult to do any kind of diagnosis on our end.
I am experimenting the use of Rational Asset Manager to store our binaries and/or build artifacts. I am running a mvn deploy command to deploy my build artifacts to RAM. Although it recognizes the connection its throwing me a Http status code: 500 error.
I have also checked RAM logs for more information but i don't see any specific exception. All the examples or documents out on internet says we have to configure RTC build engine to run the builds.
I just want to know if anyone have tried publishing to RAM from command line using Mvn deploy ( without using RTC client ) ? is this do-able?
If you have successfully published artifacts to RAM using maven, can you please elaborate on how you did it?
It seems to be possible, if you follow the steps described in:
"Creating and using Maven assets", and
"Deploying from Maven to assets":
Before you can use Maven assets, a repository administrator must enable the Maven model library. For more information, see Enabling the Maven library.
The mvn client can integrate with Rational Asset Manager, using Rational Asset Manager as a Maven repository.
Before you deploy from Maven to Rational Asset Manager, you must add a repository entry to the pom.xml file on the computer where you plan to run the mvn client. See Creating and using Maven assets for more information.
I was able to deploy the artifact using mvn deploy after changing the following things in RAM
Pointed to a JRE version in RAM ( originally was pointing to JDK
version) and
Changed permissions for my role for saving my artifacts
in RAM ("save Work Item") Reference
I just figured out, how to release to CB hosted maven "release" repository. I am trying to figure out, how to deploy tagged version to CB application.
I understand, I can manually upload WAR file but is there any script. As far as I know maven plugin for CB doesn't support it.
I have one appserver is running snapshot builds from jenkins.
I have other appserver, which I want to deploy only tagged/released artifact.
There are four ways to deploy applications to the CloudBees RUN#cloud service:
Using the bees command provided by the SDK
Using the bees-maven-plugin
Using the manual upload via the web GUI
Using the CloudBees Deployer plugin for Jenkins
Which option you choose depends on where the deployment will take place from... And the from I am talking about is which machine is doing the deployment not where the file is sourced.
If running from a Jenkins job, the best bet is the Jenkins plugin.
If running from your own laptop, the web ui or the bees command is simplest.
If running as part of a maven build, the maven plugin is simplest... (Though I should warn that the maven plugin (temporarily removing my cloudbees hat and putting on my maven PMC hat) is shite and does it all arsewise ;-) )
Your best bet is to set up a Jenkins job that uses dependency:get to pull the artifact from the repo and then add a cloudbees deployer build step to push to RUN#cloud
The good news is that bashing the maven plugin into something more maven like is on our roadmap... Hopefully that will enable actions like you can achieve with the ship-maven-plugin#mojo where you can specify a specific released version for "shipping" to production.
I suppose, that what you want to do is to deploy a release artifact to your repository.
have a look at maven-release-plugin.
Briefly, what you need to do is:
$ mvn release:prepare
$ mvn release:perform
it's not so trivial, since you need to configure appropriately your pom.xml to get it working. Have a look at the maven-release-plugin examples and usage pages.
Are you creating the tag/release from a Jenkins build? If so you could probably use the Deploy to CloudBees post-build step with target/checkout/something.war.
More generally I guess you would want to write a script to use mvn dependency:get followed by the Bees SDK to obtain the latest released artifact and deploy it.
The spring source code examples use maven tomcat plugin and i am able to run these projects using the command mvn tomcat:run but what i dont see the application is not deployed in local tomcat server("C:\apache tomcat\webapps\")..
And how it is different from cargo plugin? (In this case when i ran the command mvn cargo:redeploy, i see the application deployed in the location "C:\apache tomcat\webapps\")
If i add cargo plugin to the POM of spring examples (like mvn-showcase,petclinic)..will it screw up the things?
The spring source code examples use maven tomcat plugin and i am able to run these projects using the command mvn tomcat:run but what i dont see the application is not deployed in local tomcat server("C:\apache tomcat\webapps\")
The command tomcat:run starts an embedded Tomcat, it doesn't deploy an application to your local Tomcat (why does it matter anyway?).
And how it is different from cargo plugin?
Cargo is a container agnostic tool so you could configure it to use a remote container, a locally installed container, an embedded container (as long as implementations are provided for a given container) and still use an unified API (or set of commands).
In this case when I ran the command mvn cargo:redeploy, I see the application deployed in the location "C:\apache tomcat\webapps\"
Cargo doesn't support running Tomcat+6.x in embedded mode. So you are very likely using it with a locally installed container and your app gets physically deployed on it.
If i add cargo plugin to the POM of spring examples (like mvn-showcase,petclinic)..will it screw up the things?
It won't screw up anything, why would it.
You can use tomcat maven plugin and deploy it to external tomcat server.
see this link for all the available goals. tomcat-run will start a embedded server but tomcat:deploy works for external tomcat.
I'm deploying a webapp (WebApp.war, say) using the Maven Glassfish Plugin. Rather than it being deployed to http://localhost/WebApp I want it to be deployed to http://localhost/AnotherName - that is, I want to change the context root it's deployed to. I can't work out how to do this with the plugin, is it an option?
Context Root is defined by XML files in the WAR. Check the sun-web.xml, which should define this.
When you are using Netbeans you can select the context root under the project properties/run.
When you deploy it via Glassfish admin you can enter it there.
