Tomcat has its own Java tool to deploy and undeploy applications, but I am not happy with its speed at all. The following is my Perl script I used to replace Java. Very fast!

Next step, I will

• Add Tk, so I can select war file, and it will no longer be hard coded;
• Read Tomcat info from its xml configuration files;
• Use LWP::UserAgent, instead of doing socket thing myself.

use IO::Socket;
use MIME::Base64;

use strict;
use warnings;

my $credentials = encode_base64("peip:930612");
my $conn = new IO::Socket::INET(Proto => "tcp", PeerAddr => "localhost
+", PeerPort => 8080) || die "dead";
my $req;
if ($ARGV[0] eq "remove") {
    $req = "GET http://localhost:8080/manager/remove?path=/hello1 HTTP
+/1.1\r\n";
    $req .= "Authorization: Basic " . $credentials . "\r\n";
    $req .= "Host: localhost:8080\r\n\r\n";
} elsif ($ARGV[0] eq "install") {
    $req = "GET http://localhost:8080/manager/install?path=/hello1&war
+=jar:file:/jwsdp/webapps/jwstutorial13/examples/web/hello1/dist/hello
+1.war!/ HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    $req .= "Authorization: Basic " . $credentials . "\r\n";
    $req .= "Host: localhost:8080\r\n\r\n";
}
print $conn $req;
while (my $line = <$conn>) {
    print $line;
}
close($conn);
