[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBAS-8260) Socket based communication between ServerManager and Server

Socket based communication between ServerManager and Server ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-8260 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8260 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Domain Management Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assignee: David Lloyd Fix For: 7.0.0.M1 Default communication mechanism between SM and Servers is via stdio, with the ProcessManager routing messages. This should usually be fine, since we use the jboss-stdio lib to capture application usage of stdio and preserve the original streams for our own use. But there is a possibility that an extension module running in the SM or a Server will use JNI, which can pollute the stdio streams. The odds of this are higher in a Server, since extending the capability of the SM with something that needs JNI seems unlikely. So, we need an option to allow users to configure SM-Server communication via sockets. Tasks: 1) Put SM-Server communication behind an abstraction 2) Implement stdio-based and socket-based versions of the abstraction 3) Update host.xml schema to include configuration elements for the sockets on both the SM and the Servers. Note that the SM will need a socket anyway for communication with a remote DomainController, so perhaps this socket could be reused.
