Re: [jboss-as7-dev] how to access the management model?
I have a simple Maven plug-in using the Java API. It's probably
not 100% complete yet, but it works for now.
https://github.com/jamezp/jboss-as-deploy-plugin
Anyway, you'll see how simple the Java API is for deploying, redeploying and
undeploying. I'm sure the API does a lot more than what I'm doing with it, but
it's a simple example.
There is no doubt that the Java API is better - our concern is if that Java API will be
back/forward compatible with releases of AS 7.x/EAP 6.x or if tools need to have a
separate bundle compiled
for each version (biggest problems we've seen previously is that even when the
api's didnt change the serialization did and boom - tools are broken).
From what I understand the only way "out" of this is to use
http or dmr api's since that is/should be stable and does not break as easily as a
java library dependency.
There could of course still be changes/dependencies but the
tools could handle that without having to bundle N versions of AS client jars.
That's why we are looking for and asking how to do operations like deployment and
other operations via the http/dmr api.

hmm, to be honest I dont really understand why a RESTy semantic (ex.
post to or delete to the uri of the cache resource) would not allow this
operation. But I might miss something here since I do not have the same
background.

oh, looks like I missed this one. Guess using the java API would be the
better choice for me then. Is there any documentation about it?
