# watch and deploy (WAD)

WAD watches changes in `src\main\java` folder, builds the project using the `pom.xml` and deploys the ThinWAR into the configured folder.

## installation

Download the executable and self-contained [wad.jar](https://github.com/AdamBien/wad/releases/latest)

## usage

Launch WAD from within your ThinWAR-project created with [javaee8-essentials-archetype](http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/entry/java_ee_8_essentials_archetype).

`[THIN_WAR]/java -jar wad.jar [DEPLOYMENT_DIR ANOTHER_DIR]`

e.g.

`[THIN_WAR]/java -jar wad.jar /openliberty/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/dropins/ dist`

wad can be also configured in `~/.wadrc`. Each deployment folder in an new line:

```bash

/Users/duke/payara/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy 

/Users/duke/openliberty/usr/servers/defaultServer/dropins

/Users/duke/tomee/webapps

/Users/duke/wildfly/standalone/deployments

```

On each source change WAD will:

1. Use the current directory as the service name

2. Build the project using the `pom.xml` found in the directory

3. Copy the `./target/[name].war` into the path used as parameter

You only have to write code and save it frequently like this:

## common deployment directories

[WildFly](http://wildfly.org)

wildfly-[VERSION].Final/standalone/deployments

[OpenLiberty](https://openliberty.io)

openliberty-[VERSION]/usr/servers/defaultServer/dropins

[Payara](https://www.payara.fish)

payara/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy

[TomEE](http://tomee.apache.org)

tomee-[version]/webapps

## deploy'em all

WAD also supports simultaneous deployment to multiple servers

`[THIN_WAR]/java -jar wad.jar /openliberty/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/dropins/ wildfly/standalone/deployments payara/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy tomee/webapps`

## run from anywhere

A a shell script:

```shell

#!/bin/bash

BASEDIR=$(dirname $0)

java -jar ${BASEDIR}/wad.jar "$@"%

```

will install WAD "globally". Now you can launch WAD from any directory you like e.g.

`wad.sh /openliberty/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/dropins/`
