ABSTRACT:
An application server administration framework (ASAF) minimizes the number of manual steps during the installation or modification processes by allowing a user to accomplish the installation or modification by entering values in a property file. A deployment script is invoked that identifies changes in the property files, and invokes appropriate procedures from a procedure script. The procedure script links the property file to one or more component scripts so that the values entered by the administrator are populated to the appropriate component scripts. When the values have been populated to the appropriate component scripts, the deployment script invokes the scripting engine which runs the scripts to make the necessary changes to the configuration files for the application server.
