- ## Constructor Details

  - ### GenericHotDeploymentTool

    public GenericHotDeploymentTool()

- ## Method Details

  - ### createArg

    public Commandline.Argument createArg()
    Add a nested argument element to hand to the deployment tool; optional.
    Returns:
      A Commandline.Argument object representing the command line argument being passed when the deployment tool is run. IE: "-user=mark", "-password=venture"...

  - ### createJvmarg

    public Commandline.Argument createJvmarg()
    Add a nested argument element to hand to the JVM running the deployment tool. Creates a nested arg element.
    Returns:
      A Commandline.Argument object representing the JVM command line argument being passed when the deployment tool is run. IE: "-ms64m", "-mx128m"...

  - ### isActionValid

    protected boolean isActionValid()
    Determines if the "action" attribute defines a valid action.

    Subclasses should determine if the action passed in is supported by the vendor's deployment tool. For this generic implementation, the only valid action is "deploy"

    Specified by:
      `isActionValid` in class `AbstractHotDeploymentTool`
    Returns:
      true if the "action" attribute is valid, false if not.

  - ### setTask

    public void setTask​(ServerDeploy task)
    Sets the parent task.
    Specified by:
      `setTask` in interface `HotDeploymentTool`
    Overrides:
      `setTask` in class `AbstractHotDeploymentTool`
    Parameters:
      `task` - An ServerDeploy object representing the parent task.

  - ### deploy

    public void deploy() throws BuildException
    Perform the actual deployment. For this generic implementation, a JVM is spawned using the supplied classpath, classname, JVM args, and command line arguments.
    Throws:
      `BuildException` - if the attributes are invalid or incomplete.

  - ### validateAttributes

    public void validateAttributes() throws BuildException
    Validates the passed in attributes. Ensures the className and arguments attribute have been set.
    Specified by:
      `validateAttributes` in interface `HotDeploymentTool`
    Overrides:
      `validateAttributes` in class `AbstractHotDeploymentTool`
    Throws:
      `BuildException` - if the attributes are invalid or incomplete.

  - ### setClassName

    public void setClassName​(String className)
    The name of the class to execute to perform deployment; required. Example: "com.foobar.tools.deploy.DeployTool"
    Parameters:
      `className` - The fully qualified class name of the class to perform deployment.

  - ### getJava

    public Java getJava()
    get the java attribute.
    Returns:
      the java attribute.

  - ### getClassName

    public String getClassName()
    Get the classname attribute.
    Returns:
      the classname value.
