[jboss-dev] Splitting system and user deployments

Hi Everyone, One topic that seems to come up often, but yet we never get around to addressing, is adding a user specific deploy directory that is empty by default [1]. If we go this route, what should we call such directories? I added a few Pros = + Cons = - Option A -------- System = deploy User = apps + Users that expect system configuration files in deploy (like tomcat) won't be caught off-guard - Users might not notice the apps directory and put things in deploy anyway Option B -------- System = system User = apps + Looks nice - New locations may be hard to find Option C -------- System = system User = deploy + Users can still put apps in deploy, as they expect, and they no longer see system deployments - Users will have to find the new config location Option D -------- System = deploy/system User = deploy/apps + Looks the nicest + Not too hard to find the new location - Users will put things in deploy and it won't work! Option E -------- System = deploy-system Apps = deploy-apps + Putting files in the deploy dir is no longer a problem since it doesn't exist + Not too hard to find the new location - Deploy no longer exists - Kind of ugly [1] https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5954 -- Jason T.
