[jboss-as7-dev] [Proposal] Create minimal distribution as generic service container

[Olaf Bergner]

While I think that JBoss AS 7's architecture and implementation are 
outstanding neither I nor the company I'm working for have a need for a 
JEE container. What we *do* have a need for, though, is a robust, 
performant, flexibel and manageable runtime for deploying our networked 
services in. Having taken a look at JBoss AS 7's Modular Service 
Container, its extension mechanism, its flexibel configuration model and 
the fact that it's based on JBoss Modules I started to think that a 
JBoss AS 7 distribution stripped down to its core just might fit the bill.

Beyond creating that minimal distribution itself I think all it would 
take is to add some documentation, especially on how to use the Modular 
Service Container, something I couldn't find *any* documentation for. 
Plus maybe a sample application or two. Provided someone in the know 
volunteered to assist me I would be more than willing to provide those.

What do you think?

Olaf
