plz tell me...
I want to deploy a pure java code like jar file, NOT web application, on Cloud Foundry.
is it possible or not?
Yes, it is. This is called "Standalone apps" and is described here : http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/2012/05/01/cloud-foundry-improves-support-for-background-processing/
Just choose that kind of framework when deploying. You'll need to provide the startup script for your app, ie the command that spawns java

I am new to Cloud Foundry, I created an account, and created a Java application.
Now I need to add 3rd party jar and lib to tomcat/lib folder and add lib to environment variable of that server.
Is this possible in cloud foundry?
Thanks
To do what you are trying to do, instead of deploying your app as a Java app, you will have to do a standalone deployment along with your custom Tomcat.
Take a look here for explanation : http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/2012/05/11/running-standalone-web-applications-on-cloud-foundry/
Let me know if you need any other help.

You can create a new War file for your application after normally adding the new 3rd party jar and then redeploy the application. That will update your application on cloudfoundry.
Let me know if that is what you were looking for.

We'd like to set up a development environment using cloud foundry. Unfortunately, our architecture packages a few different wars into one webapp, each war running under its own context. Furthermore, we have a bunch of absolute URIs with the context in it, too many to rename all of them to relative URIs.
CF apparently deploys a war to the root context. Is there any way to get around this? I tried faking it by editing the web.xml in tomcat/conf/ but when I did a whole other application folder was created on my machine.
Thank you
When you push a Java web app to CloudFoundry, the platform installs and configures the Tomcat instance(s) for you, and you have limited control over the configuration. It is possible to configure your own Tomcat (or other application container) and push it along with your application instead of letting the platform do it for you.
There is a good blog post about using this bring-your-own-container approach with Tomcat 7: https://www.cloudfoundry.org/blog/deploying-tomcat-7-using-the-standalone-framework-2/.
I suggest using this approach to configure a Tomcat 6 or 7 distribution in a way that works for your application, zip up the customized Tomcat distribution along with your war files, and push that bundle as a stand-alone app on CloudFoundry.
I have a java Spring application that I want to deploy to Cloudfoundry on Tomcat7. I am newbie to Cloudfoundry and followed the steps mentioned here but when I issue vmc push command I am getting warning Can't determine the Application Type with no options provided. Any idea to resolve this ?
C:\apps\tomcat7>vmc push
Would you like to deploy from the current directory? [Yn]:
Application Name: myApp77
[WARNING] Can't determine the Application Type.
Select Application Type:
Dan's comment is correct. You should be given the option to choose standalone app.
You may want to have a look at https://github.com/ericbottard/cloudfoundry-tomcat-7 which is a distribution of tomcat already customized (and tested) as described in the blog post you mention.
Even better, if you're using Maven, just follow the README and you'll be able to deploy your war project automatically as a tomcat7 standalone.
Hope this helps,
This actually sounds correct to me, in the list of application types should be an entry named "standalone application". Select that one and then provide the command you wish to start the application with, in this case it's 'bin/startup.sh'
I need to deploy an old style .asmx asp.net web service (not WCF) on a windows 7 machine for test reasons. However it seems that just deploying it on a virtual directory or new web site on IIS won't cut like it used to back in xp.
What should I do? I need to test the service locally prior to deploying it, and so far it's giving me a hard time.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Deploying to a Virtual Directory should work just like it did in XP...with one minor change.
The default behavior in IIS7 is to use 'Integrated' Managed Pipeline Mode for your Application Pools. More than likely, you just need to change that to 'Classic' Managed Pipeline Mode (or switch your Web Service over to use the built-in 'Classic ASP.NET' App Pool).
Part of our system provides a web service through apache tomcat, the service is referenced in the server-config.wsdd file. Unfortunately nobody can remember how it got in there.
The apache set up has changed, and I need to update the system for the new configuration. What magic keywords can I google for to help me work out how and why it got into the existing server-config.wsdd, and how it might fit into the new server-config.wsdd
The server-config.wsdd file is generated by the wsdl2java tool from Axis. So, some developer used the tool and copied the file inside your Tomcat conf, where it belongs.
The server-config.wsdd is created when you deploy your web service by running
java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient \deploy.wsdd
my knowledge says that it is hardcoded... and by using java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient \deploy.wsdd or by explicitly invoking it through an ant script you can embody it to the server-config.wsdd and deploy the service
