David Lloyd [http://community.jboss.org/people/david.lloyd%40jboss.com] replied to the discussion "ProfileService SPI impacts of domain.xml" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/536668#536668 -------------------------------------------------------------- Also from the sound of it, it sounded to me like what goes into the domain.xml file should be a layer separate from any deployment DSLs we have (jboss-threads.xml, jboss-logging.xml, jboss-xnio.xml, jboss-remoting.xml are mine so far).  If we constrain what goes into the deployment DSLs (which are natural extensions of how the service is installed, not managed) by what goes into the management-oriented domain.xml, we're going to have a hard time carrying that off in a way that doesn't suck.  Instead it would be better to have a parallel management-oriented schema (or schemas) which act purely as an override set for what's been installed - though it's going to be really ugly trying to just slap that on top of what we have today.  I'd rather do the work of reimplementing all these deployers with a nice, well-thought-out API than be faced with the prospect of hacking anything more on top of them (I think this paradigm is already at its complexity limit before it becomes untenable). -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/536668#536668] Start a new discussion in Management Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
