Simple rake (and configuration file) for deploying a jruby project to a tomcat (or other servlet) server over ssh/scp

=========================================

(There is an assumption that you have public/private keys configured between the machine you are deploying from and the machine you are deploying to.)

• Put build.rake into lib/tasks (for Rails)
• Put build.yml into config (again, for Rails)

Edit config/build.yml to fit your environment.

production:
	host: awesome-host.biz
	user: root
	tmp: /tmp
	dest: /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT.war 
	cmd: /etc/init.d/tomcat7
	use_cmd: true

The configuration file is broken into Rails environment-based chunks. The configured options are as follows:

• host: the destination host running tomcat
• user: the user to connect to the host with
• tmp: location to upload the project war file to
• dest: final home for the war file
• use_cmd: true or false - determines whether to run the start/stop command (cmd)
• cmd: start/stop command (with path) to tomcat

The rake/task file will give you the following:

#> rake build:war
#> rake build:deploy

Final note, in config/warble.rb, you have to have ' config.jar_name = "..." ' commented out.

  # config.jar_name = "project_awesome"
