Hi All,
I would like to create a new deployer for the following use case:
I would like to create a file, preferably an XML file, which contains a "bundle
name" (not to confuse with OSGi bundles, though), and a list of JAR's, WAR's,
or EAR's that should be deployed.
All those artifacts to be deployed should be specified by a URI, e.g.
"file:/home/myname/deployments/my-new-app-1.0.0.jar" or
"mvn:org.mydomain.app/myapp/1.0.0/war".
The file should then be picked up by my new deployer and then the list of all those
artifacts should be resolved (found) according to the URI.
From the example above, the first URI should find the
"my-new-app-1.0.0.jar" on the local filesystem under
"/home/myname/deployments" and then deploy it to JBoss AS 7. The second example
the demonstrtes the power of this new deployer: it would try to find a WAR with the
filename "myapp-1.0.0.war from a Maven repository using the groupId of
"org.mydomain.app" and artifactId of "myapp". My specific
implementation would be configurable to look into a local ".m2" repository first
and if not found, try to download it from a remote Maven repository. The URL to this
repository should be configurable. This could be implemented similar to the OSGi
Repository implemented as part of JBOSGI.
Here is my question:
Are there any HOWTO's, examples, or other documentation that describes how to
implement a new deployer in JBoss AS7? It would even be helpful if someone could point me
to some existing implementations?
I looked at the current source and tried to figure out how the deployer for the
"*-ds.xml" files was implemented, but it is hard for me to see how this would be
hooked into the overall JBoss deployment subsystem?
Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
