The lein-ring plugin can create 2 different types of packages for deployment: an uberjar or an uberwar. These are created using lein ring uberjar or lein ring uberwar respectively:
uberjar: Creates an executable
.jarfile containing all dependencies, including an embedded Jetty serveruberwar: Creates a standard
.warfile containing all dependencies, which can be deployed to any Java web application server (such as Tomcat or GlassFish)Note
Check out the official lein-ring documentation to get more details about the various options available for
ring uberwar/uberjarat https://github.com/weavejester/lein-ring.
How you're going to deploy your application determines how you're going to package your application.
