Section 2: Request
The API will address the three-stage deployment process:
Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition J2EE Product Providers currently implement their own proprietary deployment interface to their server because there is no standard deployment API. This makes it cumbersome for companies that host heterogeneous J2EE environments to deploy an application across multiple J2EE environments, because they must run the designated deploy tool for a given server. A standard deployment API will enable any J2EE application to be deployed by any deployment tool that uses the deployment APIs onto any J2EE compatible environment.
The Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition Specification specifies a deployment file format and static deployment information descriptors. It does not, however, define a standard API for gathering dynamic deployment information that applies to application installation into the server, application configuration, or undeployment.
The Deployment Specification will support the existing deployment file format and static deployment information descriptors. In addition it will provide an interface for discovering additional information from J2EE servers which implement it. The interface will also enable tools to collect vendor specific dynamic information for installing, configuring and undeploying J2EE applications on the server. The API will encapsulate the common functions of different vendors' deployment process with a standardized Java interface.
No dependency on Java visual tools for constructing and deploying J2EE applications will be assumed by this API.
javax.deployment No. No. No. Future releases of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition Specification may require
revision in the area of deployment.

The J2EE specification defines the deployment requirements, but does not
define specific APIs.
