Programmatic Connection Definition Deployment --------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-1425 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1425 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: JCA service Reporter: Adrian Brock Assigned To: Jesper Pedersen Priority: Minor Forums Discussion Thread: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=48673 Provide a mechanism where ConnectionFactorys/DataSources (Connection Definitions) can be deployed/undeployed programmatically. The basic design is as follows: 1) Provide a mechanism to instantiate MetaData for a connection factory. This information is the same as the -ds.xml deployment format. The MetaData can be logically divided into at least the following categories: * RAR/ConnectionDefinition identification * ManagedConnectionFactory * Pool * Security * ConnectionManager * Proxy/JNDI binding 2) Write an optimized version of the MetaData for the DataSource deployments which are really a simplified version of the ConnectionFactory deployments with some hardwiring. 3) Write a service that deploys the ConnectionFactory (creates MBeans) from the MetaData and undeploys them based on their id (jndi binding). 4) Convert the ConnectionFactory deployer to construct the MetaData from the -ds.xml files and invoke the service new service.
