AutoDeploy 0.5.2 features

Hi,

the AutoDeploy 0.5.2 minor release is in progress.

This release mainly include new small features.

The first one is the regexp filename selector on the archive. As Maven2 builds name the EAR/WAR/JAR files with the version number, AutoDeploy must be able to automatically find the archive file to deploy. For exemple, the AutoDeploy configuration can contain a archive path like this applications/myapp-*.ear.

The second one is the update blocker flag on all resources (datasource, JMS queues, etc). When an update is performed, if the resource update fails (due to an exception for exemple), if the update blocker flag is set to true, the global update job fails. Else, a warning is raised but the update job is resumed.

Tomcat JSP/Servlet engine support is in progress. This new feature will convered mainly datasource and WAR deployment.

The global support of JBoss, Websphere and Weblogic will be improved waiting for the new 0.6 branch release smile
