How to deploy components to a container

Explanation

The component to deploy must be wrapped with a Deployable. There are 2 ways to deploy a Deployable:

• By doing a static deployment in a Local Configuration. This type of deployment is done before the container starts.
• By doing a hot deployment using a Deployer. This type of deployment is done after the container is started.
