Before you can use the monitored directory application deployment service, you must enable it. You can optionally change the default monitored directory and polling interval values. By default, the monitored directory application deployment service is not enabled, the monitored directory is app_server_root/monitoredDeployableApps, and the polling interval is 5 seconds.
See topics on monitored directory deployment to determine whether monitored directory deployment offers a suitable way to deploy your enterprise application files:
You can use an administrative console or wsadmin scripting to enable or disable monitored directory deployment and change the monitored directory and polling interval.
A monitoredDirectoryDeployment object has the following attributes:
For base (stand-alone) application servers, the default monitored directory is the monitoredDeployableApps/servers/server_name directory of the application server profile.
For deployment managers, the default monitored directories are the monitoredDeployableApps/servers/server_name, monitoredDeployableApps/nodes/node_name/servers/server_name, and monitoredDeployableApps/clusters/cluster_name directories of the deployment manager profile.
The product sets monitored directory deployment attributes to the values that you specified.
If you enabled monitored directory deployment, deploy your applications by adding files to a monitored directory.
