[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5781) Filesystem deployment scanner for a managed domain

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5781?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-5781: --------------------------------------- Doing this would involve a thread under the control of a Host Controller scanning a filesystem location and invoking commands to update the domain-wide configuration. This has a couple implications: 1) The scanner could not be part of a subsystem, as it is in a standalone server. A Host Controller does not install runtime services for subsystems. It only tracks their configuration in order to provide that configuration to the servers under its control. This would mean elevating the scanner notion into the core AS, which is a concern. 2) Only the master Host Controller would be able to be configured with such a scanner. Only the master is allowed to make updates to the domain wide configuration. The basic implementation difference between such a scanner and the one currently used for standalone servers is the addition of configurations for which server-groups should be affected by the scanner. The list of management operations generated by the scanner would then need to include the relevant server-group-level operations. This would add a fair amount of complexity, particularly around some of the edge cases, such as the user adding a new server-group to the scanner's config when the HC is not running -- this would require detecting the need to add the relevant deployments to the new server group upon boot. Much more problematic is the case where a user *removes* a server group from the scanner's config when the HC is not running. Similar issues exist regarding interaction between this scanner and other administrative clients, such as the web based admin console. What happens if an admin using the console removes a scanner-controlled deployment from a particular server-group? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
