Totally agree with Jurijs.
We allow our developers to do something pretty similar, but with a java
deployer rather than shell scripts - we run AS on win2k3 (not my choice, but
it works and scales okay).
In addition to allowing the developers to deploy EAR files, the java code
allows them to change any files at container level: j2ee/container/applib
and j2ee/container/config (running dcmctl updateconfig -ct oc4j after).
We don't allow any changes which might affect another project coexisting in
a different container in the same application server on production, and this
way if they mess it up their development container you just have to recreate
it.
I'll add to anyone considering Windows for this that the combination of
file/directory locking caused by explorer and (un)deployments can be a real
pain, but it can be worked round.

Subject: Re: ias_admin like user
Hi Li,
Unfortunately there is no such luxury so far in Oracle AS 10G R2 (at
least I am not aware about that, have worked a bit with AS).
For development purposes we have written some shell scripts to peek up
EAR files from particular directory and install those using the dcmctl
utility in batch mode.
Developers have got dedicated Unix account to copy deliveries in
particular directory.
It is not good idea I believe to give Developers power to changing
parameters. It is some think you would like to have control on. We
have installed AS under separate Unix user and give that user (and
ias_admin credentials) to developers (making a full installation
backup, before that). It is some think like pre development
environment for where Developers free to do anything (changing
parameters, deploying, undeploying, rm -rf etc ;). After they broke it
we restoring that environment from the backup ;)
Hope this helps,
Jurijs
