dependsOn

undeploy depends on libertyStart for a running server.

Properties

See the Liberty server configuration properties for common server configuration.

The undeploy task uses an undeploy block within the server block to define task specific behavior.

Attribute	Type	Since	Description	Required
apps	Object[]	3.0	Specifies which tasks/files should be undeployed from the apps directory. Applications can be passed in as the task that generates the file or as an application file.	Yes - if dropins is not specified.
dropins	Object[]	3.0	Specifies which tasks/files should be undeployed from the dropins directory. Applications can be passed in as the task that generates the file or as an application file.	Yes - if apps is not specified.

Examples

1. Undeploys a single application file.

  apply plugin: 'liberty'

  liberty {

      server {
          name = 'myServer'

          undeploy {
              apps = [file('app.war')]
          }
      }
  }

2. Undeploy multiple applications. Specifically, undeploy sample.war and the application generated by the war task from apps, and test-war.war from dropins.

  apply plugin: 'liberty'
  apply plugin: 'war'

  liberty {
      server {
          name = 'myServer'

          undeploy {
              apps = [war, file('sample.war')]
              dropins = [file('test-war.war')]
          }
      }
  }

If no property is set for the undeploy block, nothing will be undeployed. A value must be provided to undeploy an application.
