[jboss-dev-forums] [JBoss AS7 Development] - XML File Deployments

Jason Greene [http://community.jboss.org/people/jason.greene%40jboss.com] created the discussion "XML File Deployments" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/560307#560307 -------------------------------------------------------------- In past discussions it seemed unlikely that we would support XML deployments. This was for the following reasons: 1. The file would have to specify module configuration inline for it to even work (there is no more flat classpath in AS7) [and be polluted with other various AS internal info] 2. Configuration is no longer a "deployable" notion. The domain config contains all admin focused configs and supports runtime updates. This includes which subsystems are available 3. Code must be associated with it to really be worth being a deployment, so why not just bundle the code with the deployment? Even some kind of templating/scripting would likely be better represented as multiple files. 4. Everything you can do with an XML file can be done with an archive containing the XML file Is there a strong case for it that was missed? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/560307#560307] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS7 Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
