GRAPE Stack
GRAPE Stack is an open source enterprise JEE stack geared towards rapid application deployment.

GRAPE Stack can be deployed in many environments, including the Amazon © Cloud, Rackspace and Rackspace Cloud, Slicehost © and more.

To get started with GRAPE, simply specify arguments at the command line using the DSL to create a new application:

[root@myserver ~]$ grape foo.com,www.foo.com coldbox coldspring orm facebook flex jboss cluster,3 memcached


or

[root@myserver ~]$ grape foo.com -default


Upon typing that, in just a few minutes you have a fully clustered JBoss setup of 3 servers (using the -default flag configures only one server), all running the GRAPE sample application at foo.com. The application will be fully configured with ColdBox, ColdSpring, ORM, a Facebook Application, a Flex application that connects to the stack, AJAX connected, security, optimization, caching and more!

or try something like:

[root@myserver ~]$ grape foo.com,www.foo.com coldbox:cachebox:wirebox orm crud:ajax apache:tomcat cluster,2 ehCache


There's also a visual (browser-based) wizard to deploy new stacks, if you're not a command-line person. And of course there are all kinds of arguments and configuration options available. Further options can be configured to automatically provision new servers
