Deploying an Application with the JBoss EAP Management CLI

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform provides an extensive Java EE-based application server to which we can deploy and manage our applications. Often, this can be as simple as deploying a provided WAR or EAR file to our configured server. In this lab, we'll specifically explore how to deploy a simple WAR file with the JBoss Management CLI.
