Understanding the Console Deployment Structure

Since Composable Architecture Platform has the ability to dynamically apply software updates without requiring a restart of the application server, and with different users using different versions of the same application; there are some unusual considerations with regards to the console’s deployment structure.

Firstly, the web application installed under the application server path is purely an application loader. The application loader in turn finds all of the required files and executable code under a folder designated as the file location in the web.xml file for the console application.

The file location referenced is typically under the Composable Architecture Platform console home folder in an Applications sub-folder. Below that folder in turn, you can find multiple builds (as they are installed by the update server). Those builds largely conform to a typical web application structure.
