Richard Achmatowicz [http://community.jboss.org/people/rachmato] commented on the document "Infinispan Subsystem Management API" To view all comments on this document, visit: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-17351#comment-8211 -------------------------------------------------- I'll answer the scond part first. "In terms of initial features, I presume you'd want to focus on the needs of AS 7 for this management API, and not all of what Infinispan can do.  Is this management API easily extensible for subsequent use in EDG then, where we'd want to expose more of Infinispan to users?  How do you see this working?" Yes, the AS 7 Infinispan subsystem and its management interface is really tailored to the support of clustering. Both the XML configuration of the subsystem, the defaults used as well as the management operations available are probably more limited in scope than what would be suitable for EDG where greater need for configuration of cache manager and cache behaviours would probably be required. There is a lot of scope for code reuse, as resource definitions (e.g. those classes which define the attributes and operations available for an addressable resource) can be extended. However, on the surface, it looks as though different extensions for the different versions of the subsystem will need to be installed (where the extension is used to register the parsers and the resource definitions to be used). We need to try put together a shopping list of what you would want to have exposed in the EAP vs EDG cases. --------------------------------------------------
