Smartfrog - too much power?

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating smartfrog for use on our internal systems and
I just wanted to confirm that it's a suitable tool for my purposes.

We are building WARs using Maven2 and Continuum. As part of the
Continuum build, the War gets pushed out to our development server.

Once it has passed testing on this machine, we need to push it out to
our clustered staging environment for more testing and then a similar
step for deployment to our production environment.

The deployment is to Tomcat, so it involves undeploying the existing
version, deploying the current version and then running a few tests
(GET and POST / HttpUnit style things) on some resources to ensure
that the application deployed properly.

My first question: is using smartfrog for this sort of problem
overkill, or is this a common first usage that people start with
before using more of the functionality?

Cheers,

James
