Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method and an automatic redeployment agent for automatic redeployment of applications in an integrated Development Environment (IDE). The automatic redeployment agent loads all changes in codebase of the applications onto an application Enterprise Archive (EAR) on the server, by sequentially validating directory paths in the application codebase and the application EAR. The changes in the application codebase are instantly reflected on the server application without restarting or redeploying the server. The automatic redeployment agent helps in reducing the deployment and server restart turnaround time for the IDE by instantly loading the changes to the server. Also, the overall productivity of the IDE is enhanced due to significant reduction in the efforts required for deployment and/or redeployment of the application.

Claims12

Dependent claims

A method for automatic redeployment of an application in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the method comprising:

retrieving, by an automatic redeployment agent, one or more directory paths of one or more files related to the application from a development code repository, associated with the IDE in a user system, and a server file repository in a server associated with the IDE;
comparing, by the automatic redeployment agent, each of the one or more directory paths in the development code repository with each of the one or more directory paths in the server file repository, wherein the comparison is performed using sequential validation processes comprising an addition validation, a deletion validation, and an update validation;
determining, by the automatic redeployment agent, one or more changes in at least one of the one or more directory paths in the development code repository based on the comparison to determine one or more changed directory paths and one or more unchanged directory paths in the development code repository;
updating, by the automatic redeployment agent, the one or more directory paths in the server file repository based on the one or more changes in at least one of the one or more changed directory paths in the development code repository;
comparing, by the automatic redeployment agent, file values of the one or more files in the server file repository with file values of the one or more files in the development code repository corresponding to the one or more unchanged directory paths in the development code repository, wherein a file value of a file from the one or more files is obtained as a sum of numeric values assigned to each character in the file;
and
updating, by the automatic redeployment agent, the one or more files in the server file repository based on the comparison.

4 more elements

An automatic redeployment agent for automatic redeployment of an application in an integrated Development Environment (IDE), the automatic redeployment agent comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory, communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
retrieve one or more directory paths of one or more files related to the application from a development code repository, associated with the IDE in a user system, and a server file repository in a server associated with the IDE;
compare each of the one or more directory paths in the development code repository with each of the one or more directory paths in the server file repository, wherein the comparison is performed using sequential validation processes comprising an addition validation, a deletion validation, and an update validation;
determine one or more changes in at least one of the one or more directory paths in the development code repository based on the comparison to determine one or more changed directory paths and one or more unchanged directory paths in the development code repository;
update the one or more directory paths in the server file repository based on the one or more changes in at least one of the one or more changed directory paths in the development code repository;
compare file values of the one or more files in the server file repository with file values of the one or more files in the development code repository corresponding to the one or more unchanged directory paths in the development code repository, wherein a file value of a file from the one or more files is obtained as a sum of numeric values assigned to each character in the file;
and
update the one or more files in the server file repository, based on the comparison.
