Deploying a WAR from a command line using SilverCmd:

- Start the SilverStream application server.
- Create an XML deployment plan for the `struts-example.war` application.
- Call the file `struts-example-depl-plan.xml` . You can use the following contents for the file:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE warJarOptions PUBLIC
        "-//Silverstream Software, Inc.//DTD J2EE WAR Deployment Plan//EN"
        "deploy_war.dtd">
      <warJarOptions>
        <warJar>
          <warJarName>struts-example.war</warJarName>
          <isEnabled>true</isEnabled>
          <urls>
            <el>struts-example</el>
          </urls>
        </warJar>
      </warJarOptions>

- Create an XML deployment plan for the `struts-documentation.war` application.
- Call the file `struts-documentation-depl-plan.xml` . You can use the following contents for the file:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE warJarOptions PUBLIC
        "-//Silverstream Software, Inc.//DTD J2EE WAR Deployment Plan//EN"
        "deploy_war.dtd">
      <warJarOptions>
        <warJar>
          <warJarName>struts-documentation.war</warJarName>
          <isEnabled>true</isEnabled>
          <urls>
            <el>struts-documentation</el>
          </urls>
        </warJar>
      </warJarOptions>

- Run the following "SilverCmd DeployWAR" commands to deploy the applications. You can change 'localhost' to whatever server you are deploying to. You can change 'Silvermaster' to whatever database you are deploying to.

      SilverCmd DeployWar localhost Silvermaster struts-example.war
        -f struts-example-depl-plan.xml
      SilverCmd DeployWar localhost Silvermaster struts-documentation.war
        -f struts-documentation-depl-plan.xml
