Hi All,
1) Zero Deployment talks of downloading an application
from the webserver and running it(Talks of placing the
client app in the virtual directory of IIS).
I have a client ( built using C# on .NET) acessing a
webservice running of Tomcat. Now how do I place the
my .NET client in Tomcat so that I can download and run it
from Tomcat.
2) I could find documentation on versioning the
assemblies, but how do I do the versioning of the whole
application(which typically consists of multiple
assemblies).

Any ideas and help is greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Suresh,

In the MSDNTV episode entitled "Visual Studio .NET and C# Tips and
Tricks" published on Wed, July 02 (@
http://microsoft.com/downloads/deta...93-21BC-44F8-9999-805A476480FE&displaylang=en),
Juval Lowy talks about using an empty solution to add multiple
projects and also talks about linking to the same assembly files -- in
a case similar (it sounds) to the one you describe (being able to
assign one version number to an application with multiple projects).

On your first question, I am not sure that any webserver can do
what you say but I would imagine that if it is a microsoft article
that they are probably referring to IIS. I would look at using the
..Net Framework to perform the procedure you want (though I personally
think it is improbable unless you are working in an intranet
environment due to security concerns).

Hope that helps.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your help. The article is very helpful.

I did place a .exe file in the documents folder of Tomcat
which is running our server application and I could run it
of the IE browser but on Netscape browser it did not run
the app but did a file download.
Now I need to figure out a way of placing our application
(client accessing the webservice)which has a directory
structure consisting of multiple preojects(its not a .exe
file ) to do the same.

I appreciate your time.

Suresh
