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.

Hi,
In Brno we discussed for AS.next that as much as possible should be a
subsystem.
That goes directly in line of what you are suggesting.
But said that, I think changes like this would really be postponed for
AS.next, given that we want to do fast AS8 release...

Before we get too far ahead I think it is time to revisit this question
again.
Early in AS7 development the configuration required for management of
the servers was simple - for standalone mode and in a host controller
process this was handled independently to expose the management
interfaces.
As the host controller has no support for subsystems we continued down
the path of adding to the management specific configuration.
In standalone mode we don't need to avoid subsystems as the process is a
running application server but we avoid subsystems to be compatible with
a host controller.
Do we want to continue with this approach for AS8 where everything being
used for domain management needs to be usable in a non-AS process - or
do we want to re-visit if the host controller should be able to run
subsystems? Maybe the host controller could even just be a standalone
AS process running a minimal configuration.
