A The `asadmin` Deployment Subcommands
--------------------------------------

This appendix lists the `asadmin` deployment subcommands that are
included with this release of the GlassFish Server Open Source
Editionsoftware. For information on additional `asadmin` subcommands,
see "link:../administration-guide/asadmin-subcommands.html#GSADG00023[Subcommands for the `asadmin` Utility]" in
GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Administration Guide or see the
link:../reference-manual/toc.html#GSRFM[GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Reference Manual].

link:../reference-manual/add-library.html#GSRFM00818[`add-library`]::
  Adds one or more library JAR files to GlassFish Server. You can
  specify whether the libraries are added to the Common class loader
  directory, the Java optional package directory, or the
  application-specific class loader directory.
link:../reference-manual/create-application-ref.html#GSRFM00013[`create-application-ref`]::
  Creates a reference from a cluster or an unclustered server instance
  to a previously deployed Java EE application or module. This
  effectively results in the application element being deployed and made
  available on the targeted instance or cluster.
link:../reference-manual/create-lifecycle-module.html#GSRFM00043[`create-lifecycle-module`]::
  Creates a lifecycle module. A lifecycle module provides a means of
  running a short or long duration Java-based task at a specific stage
  in the server life cycle.
link:../reference-manual/delete-application-ref.html#GSRFM00064[`delete-application-ref`]::
  Removes a reference from a cluster or an unclustered server instance
  to a previously deployed Java EE application or module. This
  effectively results in the application element being undeployed on the
  targeted instance or cluster.
link:../reference-manual/delete-lifecycle-module.html#GSRFM00095[`delete-lifecycle-module`]::
  Deletes a lifecycle module.
link:../reference-manual/deploy.html#GSRFM00114[`deploy`]::
  Deploys an enterprise application, web application, EJB module,
  connector module, or application client module. If the component is
  already deployed or already exists, you can forcefully redeploy if you
  set the `--force` option to `true`. A directory can also be deployed.
  Supported in remote mode only. For usage instructions, see
  link:deploying-applications.html#gijmq[To Deploy an Application or
  Module].
link:../reference-manual/deploydir.html#GSRFM00115[`deploydir`]::
  This subcommand is deprecated. Use the `deploy` subcommand instead.
link:../reference-manual/disable.html#GSRFM00116[`disable`]::
  Immediately deactivates the named application or module. If the
  component has not been deployed, an error message is returned.
  Supported in remote mode only. For usage instructions,
  seelink:deploying-applications.html#fvyje[To Disable an Application or
  Module].
link:../reference-manual/enable.html#GSRFM00124[`enable`]::
  Enables the specified application or module. If the component has not
  been deployed, an error message is returned. If the component is
  already enabled, then it is re-enabled. Supported in remote mode only.
  For usage instructions, see link:deploying-applications.html#gijjy[To
  Enable an Application or Module].
link:../reference-manual/get-client-stubs.html#GSRFM00140[`get-client-stubs`]::

  application containing the application client module, from the server
  machine to the local directory. For usage instructions, see
  link:deploying-applications.html#beaek[EJB Module Deployment
  Guidelines].
link:../reference-manual/list-applications.html#GSRFM00148[`list-applications`]::
  Lists deployed Java EE applications and modules. Optionally lists
  subcomponents and scoped resources. If the `--type` option is not
  specified, all applications and modules are listed. Supported in
  remote mode only. For usage instructions, see
  link:deploying-applications.html#giulr[To List Deployed Applications or
  Modules].
link:../reference-manual/list-application-refs.html#GSRFM00147[`list-application-refs`]::
