As we discussed on todays call the notion of version is going away, right? | Correct. &quot;charles.crouch(a)jboss.com&quot; wrote : | b) On the returned Profile you call getTemplate(String name).

Is Set<org.jboss.profileservice.spi.PropertyInfo> going to get replaced with Set<org.jboss.managed.api.ManagedProperty> or better yet just org.jboss.managed.api.ManagedObject? If so, thats another piece that requires a snapshot of jboss-managed.jar. Somehow expand() is also going to have to set the name attribute on the DeploymentContext it returns. | That is one way, but its not hooked up yet, and it needs to be synched up with the changes in the managed object api. The notion of a DeploymentTemplate was to create a deployment with preconfigured values coming from manged objects. We also need to actually create the templates. &quot;charles.crouch(a)jboss.com&quot; wrote : | d) On the Profile call addDeployment(DeploymentContext d) passing in the DeploymentContext returned from expand(). | | e) If the deployment fails an exception of some variety is thrown. | | Correct. However, for the initial tests I expect that the base deployment exists, so the way to add a deployment to a profile is: | URL deploymentURL = ... | VFS vfs = VFS.getVFS(deploymentURL); | VirtualFile deploymentVF = vfs.getRoot(); | AbstractDeploymentContext context = new AbstractDeploymentContext(deploymentVF); | ps.addDeployment(context); | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3995976#...
