Re: [jboss-as7-dev] AS8 - Should Domain Management Be A Subsystem

The main reason this is of interest to me is so that we can commence switching everything in AS to a common identity manager solution that is as equally applicable for authentication of applications deployed to the app server as it is for authentication for domain management. At this point we need to be setting the overall road map for these changes so this would suggest the following: - Start the updates for the application server potentially for AS8 and leave domain management largely untouched - then for AS.next provided the host controller process will be running subsystems we can start to re-use everything developed so far and replace the existing management configuration. At that point we would be on the common solution used for everything. Regards, Darran Lofthouse.
