Abstract

The deployment and installation of Java applications in a distributed environment is a complex task, particularly for unmanaged nodes in large scale deployment scenarios as found in the Internet. A promising remedy is dynamic software deployment which does not require particular user intervention but is supposed to install application components on demand. While related approaches like Sun Java Web Start use fixed deployment and application configurations, we present in this paper a dynamic and customizable deployment approach based on so called Java class collections. The realization of our proposal is presented and the use of the approach in an ongoing research project is demonstrated.
