A New Approach to Deploying and Managing JavaEE Applications

Overview

Deploying and migrating JavaEE applications is hard work. Specifically, it's work that's error-prone, repetitive, and time consuming because of the complexity of setting up or tweaking web application servers. The result is lost man-hours, soaring costs, and potential problems associated with hidden or unseen configuration issues that might pop up at a later time. Furthermore, often the situation is muddied by a "Fog of war" - technical personnel and their managers really don't have any easy way to take an accurate snapshot of current application server configurations, and no easy way to make decisions regarding those assets and how they can (or can't) support an enterprise's line of business.
