How can I use AutoUpdate to deploy updates and new modules for my application?
An AutoUpdate server (also called an AutoUpdate Center or AUC) it not as complicated as it sounds. It’s just a server which contains a set of modules and an XML file that describes them all (the autoupdate XML descriptor). There are four main steps in setting up your AUC, all of which are quite simple: 1. Deciding where you will host it. This is typically just a Web server (Tomcat, Apache, etc.) which has a directory that’s writable by you. You will need to know how to map that directory to the URL which will be used to request the files you add there; for example, you might put a file com-example-foo.nbm in the /var/www/html/mysite directory and that will map to http://www.example.com/mysite/com-example-foo.nbm. 2. Creating your NBM files and autoupdate XML descriptor. Just right-click on your suite and choose “Create NBMs”, or if you prefer the command line, type ant nbms from a command prompt in the root directory of your suite. 3. Uploading your NBM files and autoupdate XML descrip
