Local File plugin
The Local File plugin is a project plugin that is used to integrate the framework with a flat filesystem for simple storage of a projects built artifacts.
This is the location from which all project artifacts are deployed to target systems. It may be shared with other projects.
About deployable packages
RapidDeploy stores all of its deployable artifacts as versioned packages in jar, tar or zip format. Depending on the project configuration, each package will contain:
- Code only package
- All of the built code (for example ear, war, jar files)
- Properties files to update the built artifacts with environment specific values
- The configuration, for each defined target environment, to build from scratch or update this applications dependent container resources such as Database or JMS Providers
- Code and configuration package
- All of the built code (for example ear, war, jar files)
- Properties files to update the built artifacts with environment specific values
- The configuration, for each defined target environment, to build from scratch or update the environment (for example create or update a WebSphere cluster and dependent container resources such as Database or JMS Providers).
- Configuration only package (configuration only projects)
- The configuration, for each defined target environment, to build from scratch or update the environment (for example create or update a WebSphere cluster and any shared resources such as Database or JMS providers).
The name of the package is usually derived from the label or baseline created in the SCM repository during the build or continuous integration process used to build the deployable code and/or configuration.
