[jboss-dev] Re: ServiceBindingManager status?

[Brian Stansberry]

I went ahead and experimented with the wrapper idea, in case you guys 
want it.  Quite simple and seems to work fine.  SBM works for the 
webserver connectors with it in place.  Will run some parts of testsuite 
tonight.  With it you can also move the CachedConnectionManager back 
into deploy. If you're curious, a patch is attached.  Patch shows that 
it's quite clean to divide the runtime element of TomcatDeployer from 
the deployer element.

Admittedly, it's a hack.

If we want SBM to work, I will need to convert some clustering pojo 
services back to JMX services.  That shouldn't be a big deal; involves 
carving them out of cluster-beans.xml and putting them in a service.xml. 
  The core HAPartition stuff would remain as pojos in cluster-beans.xml.

The attached patch doesn't deal with the build, i.e. getting the 
jboss-web-service.xml file into deploy.
