We should discuss this on infinispan-dev BTW... On 28 Apr 2010, at 15:14, Ales Justin wrote: >> It looks pretty good.

Essentially this would be an adapter that would allow Infinispan lifecycle and config parsing to hook in to the MC, so that we could build a JBoss AS "data grid" profile such that: >> >> ${JBOSS_HOME}/servers/datagrid/lib/<infinispan jars> >> ${JBOSS_HOME}/servers/datagrid/conf/infinispan.xml >> >> running: >> >> $ run.sh -c datagrid >> >> would start a standalone Infinispan node with: >> >> * MC >> * JNDI >> * JMX >> * Infinispan (based on the config in infinispan.xml) > > With my prototype you can already do all of this. ;-) > > All you're missing is infinispan.deployers dir/module in AS' deployers directory. > And then you would simply move conf/infinispan.xml into datagrid/deploy/ dir. > Voila! ;-) > > I can setup this once you/we get confirmation from the AS team that this is the right approach. > >> Some configs may also include HotRod/Memcached/WebSock/REST server - the latter which would then need a web container. Same goes for servers/datagrid-managed which would also contain a JOPR instance.

I've hacked this initial MC + VFS support: * http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/demos/microcontainer/trun... * http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/demos/microcontainer/trun... You can then drop in this jar: * http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/demos/microcontainer/trun... Where we watch for "jboss-infinispan.xml" files: * http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/demos/microcontainer/trun... And to test all of this I deploy a plain MC bean: * http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/demos/microcontainer/trun... * http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/demos/microcontainer/trun... This also exposes how we can transparently use GridFilesystem over VFS. So, any feedback is welcome. -Ales
