I have a 50 MB war archive which I import into the Developer Studio and then deploy. The deployment takes about 8 minutes. If I include the war in a Java 1.4 ear project and then deploy the ear, it also takes about 8 minutes. If I instead include the war in a Java EE 5 ear project, the deployment takes 19 minutes.
Is this normal? I've increased min heap size for the server JVM to 256 MB and max heap size to 784 MB. That doesn't seem to make a difference.
On another vendor's application server, I can copy my war to a deploy folder on disk and then start the server. Within two minutes, the application is up and running.
Is there any way to accelerate the deployment process on NetWeaver?
Thanks,
Jerry
