We could say that defining a server as part of a cluster means that additional
capabilities are added beyond what's in the profile. But then we are dividing the
definition of a profile into two places. Also, exactly what capabilities should be added
if a server is in a cluster is unclear.
I think this depends on the definition of a profile. To me our previous definition of
profile focused much more on internal implementation details (how to build a server with
ejb3 (which jars etc)). When I look at the domain model I am looking at it from a
configuration standpoint. Specifying things like "jndi should be clustered on port
blah blah blah". There should be a thread pool with X threads, etc
The part of our existing profile discussion I was thinking of was what's shown here:
http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-14742 http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-14742.
Basically a fairly compact listing of required capabilities, an indication of where a
deploy directory is (which could perhaps be defaulted). Then add stuff like
jdbc-resources, jms-resources, threads, etc. That's pretty end-user-oriented; the
heavy implementation detail stuff is in
http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-14743
http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-14743.
If we didn't need the required capabilities bit (e.g. could infer them from the rest
of domain.xml content), that's nice. But I don't know if we can do that, not if we
allow a deploy dir with contents not fully specified in domain.xml.
