[jboss-as7-dev] Feature requests from bof

A couple of feature requests from the as7 bof likely require a notion of the domain topology to be accessible via the management api. Two requests that stick out are: 1. The knowledge of the "cluster" members in a non-autodiscovery environment (such as most cloud providers). The request was a little more specific in that there was a desire to have a cluster aware service such as infinispan to magically have its membership configuration handled by the domain when one would typically have to setup a gossip server, S3_PING or some other non-UDP discovery service. As we discussed in the bof, there really is no "cluster" notion, but we should expect that a one or more server-groups would be setup to represent the services one wants to be clustered, and so, requesting the members of a server-group from the domain api could be used to build a discovery service. 2. Having stable jndi names across the domain. In a potentially multi-tier domain, or even a domain that includes singleton or at least hetergenous service setup, you would like to be able to refer to service factories via logical jndi names that map to the domain topology. We could accomplish this by having a jndi ContextFactory binding under something like "domain:" that would allow for lookups like: a. "domain:/clusterServerGroup/RemoteConnectionFactory", lookup of a connection factory that is bound across all nodes in the "cluster" server-group. b. "domain:/batchServer/batchGatewayEjb", lookup of the batchGatewayEjb remote interface on the batchServer server instance. Another natural api for accessing the domain model would be a jndi DirContext implementation that would provide effectively the same information as the cli using the same namespace. I can create proper feature requests for these once they are vetted as useful. I assume this will have to be a 7.1 feature.
