The tools team is concerned that the profile service is too much of a moving target, and that they need a stable API & protocol that is BC across minor releases. Since their usage is limited to basic deployment (they actually preferred using JMX), should we consider a simple wrapper service API for this use-case? It would then be much easier to guarantee backwards compatibility. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4211287#...
