We need a way to 1) List deployed apps (ears/wars), 2) Deploy apps (ears/wars), 3) Undeploy apps(ears/wars), 4) Get the availability status of the deployed app through the ProfileService. For deploying apps, we need to pass a URL for the location of the ear or war. We need to find out if the deployment or undeployment was successful or failed And if it failed what was the reason for the failure. Questions 1. What should be passed to the ProfileService so that it can deploy the archive? 2. Should this invocation be asynchronous, or make it the caller's responsibility to determine if they want it asynch or not? 3. If it is async, what lifecycle/callback mechanism should be created? 4. Should the status of the deploy/undeploy be a MetaType/MetaValue? Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4134698#...
