[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Management Features on JBoss] - JBAS-6693 - Add deployExploded argument to DeploymentManager

WRT: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6693 We might want to add a notion of DeploymentOptions to the DeploymentManager instead of just a boolean argument like: | DeploymentProgress distribute(String name, URL contentURL, DeploymentOption... options); | I would prefer this, as Ian also once pointed out that things like FailIfExists should also be possible to be specified when deploying an application. Basically i see this more as an optional option, as a Profile or DeploymentRepository might not support all options. One thing i'm not really sure is if using the distribute(String name, URL contentURL, DeploymentOption... options) implies copyContent == true? As e.g. ExplodeDeployment would only be available for copyContent = true. A DeploymentOption would be a simple enumeration like: | public enum DeploymentOption | { | FailIfExists, ExplodeDeployment | } | On the DeploymentRepository side we would need to add a additional parameter to the addDeploymentContent like: | String addDeploymentContent(String name, InputStream contentIS, DeploymentOption... options) | I don't really like this, as the profileservice-spi should not really depend on the API from the DeploymentManager. Although it might be ok for 5.x and we'll review that for AS6 again? View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4231058#...
