Am I missing something? Isn't this exactly how deployment servers actually work?
I'm not into Java development, but this sounds fine on the face of it, without you giving the context of how this pipeline is triggered.

- Bartweiss 8y agoIn theory it sounds alright. It's not great, because Jenkins is usually layered with some existing deploy framework that makes "deploy a zip file" pretty suspect. A healthier setup would look more like "build a Tomcat war file Maven, upload and deploy that with Jenkins". But in context, it sounds like the horror is that people were making and transferring a zip from local code rather than building from the tip of source control.
