What options do you have to communicate between the WARs in an EAR? We have several WARs providing different webservices deployed within one EAR. For their tasks they need to communicate with the other WARs. Of course they could communicate using webservices. What other, perhaps more efficient, options are there? EDIT: The reason for t...
Does Office 2007 PIA also require Office 2007 to be installed? Can I deploy Office 2007 PIA with VSTO 3.0 (without having Office 2007 installed)? EDIT: I have a windows application that generates MS Word files. I have added the Office 2007 PIA as custom pre-requisite in the setup, but Office 2007 PIA needs MS Office 2007 to be installed...

I'm using Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition. (And I apologize - this is more of a MS Vis C# usability question than a strict programming question...) I wrote a little program. when I run it in MS VC# with the debugger, all is well. When I use the "click Once" to generate something to deploy (I'm using the "from a CD-ROM" optio...
I know there are several ways to deploy a .net windows client application: There's Windows Installer, Click Once, a simple download & run, and loading the windows forms / WCF application in Internet Explorer (no to confuse the latter with WCF/E - Silverlight RIA applications) So... thinking about the true windows client applications --...

Howdy, I have a complex sharepoint deploy with multiple EventReceivers and Workflows. I also have schema changes to existing lists, adding new columns of metadata and changing existing columns.

I've got some software I created deployed on a Linux VM. I'd like to deploy a second copy of the software on a second virtual machine. Ideally, I'd like to just clone the VM volume, fire up a second copy, change the IP address, and that's that. It there anything else to it, or is it really just that simple. ...

I have an interesting situation where I need to deploy an ASP.NET MVC app to a (pseudo-boss's) local desktop machine so they can run it locally for data entry purposes. What would be the best way to get the app running on a vista machine without Visual Studio installed? Ideally, It would be a one click that started a development web ...
I would appreciate opinions or suggestions. For several years, I have had an html and javascript website that was housed on a shared Apache server hosted by Wild West. Recently I decided to migrate it to .NET 3.5 and put it on a shared Windows IIS7 server also hosted by Wild West. I rewrote all of the pages using Visual Studio 2008,...
I'd like to get the pulse of the community on whether to precompile or not. I know its cold start time is faster, and it hides code. However, there is something dirty about it, IMO. Maybe its the name, compiling a website sounds incorrect. In general how are you deploying web apps? ...
To the best of my knowledge and googling skills, .Net 3.5 SP1 is still not an "official" release. That is the only way to get the SP1 upgrade is by voluntary download and not through mandatory windows updates. Is there any time frame set for when .Net 3.5 SP1 will be pushed to all windows users? ...

In IIS 6, I am trying to deploy a Web Site project from Visual Studio 2008. This site has a sub-folder with some aspx pages in it. When I deploy the project to the server and navigate to the site, everything works except for the pages that exist in the sub-folder, they throw a 404 error. In IIS, I can navigate the sub-folders and see t...
I have worked a bit with Django and I quite like its project/applications model : you can build a Django project by assembling one or more Django applications. These applications can be autonomous, or some applications can be built on top of other applications. An application can easily rely on another application's models, as well as ...

I'm trying to find the best way to automatically delpoy a server, which installs the OS, software dependencies that I have (for example SQL server, .net framework + my own application code).

How do you decide what the minimum system requirements are for a Windows application? (OS, RAM, HD, CPU). I usually go with my gut, but I'd like to be able to back that up with something. ...
I am researching various options for deploying a batch of .Net applications. Deployment is more than just copying files, we need to stop/start services, call an exe that executes database scripts, initiate a number of setup.exe installs, etc. These scripts will be given to a third-party who will apply various application updates to our...
