Abstract
An application configuration tool and associated method for supporting deployment of an application on a server that has a set of configurations available for applications deployed on the server. The method attempts to match every configuration required by the application to a configuration available on the server. In case of multiple candidates that match, one is selected. When there is no match an error message is generated. The method is iterated to inspect each selected configuration to identify any references contained in the selected configuration that themselves need further configurations. The iteration of inspecting and the matching to follow the references is continued until all such references are exhausted either by matching or failure to match and consequent error message generation. Finally, a configuration report is output specifying the selected configurations and, to the extent that not all required configurations have been matched to available configurations, the error messages.
