[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5905) Use ServiceLoader to locate mod_cluster custom load metrics

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5905?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Radoslav Husar commented on AS7-5905: ------------------------------------- @[~brian.stansberry] {quote} It may help, but for custom metrics, unless the user edits module.xml (bad!!!!) to add a dependency there needs to a mechanism to identify the module of the metric. Otherwise there is no way to access the module. What's there now seems to be wrong in this respect. {quote} I totally agree it's bad. AFAIK there isn't another reasonable mechanism to do it, is there? Just dropping a JAR somewhere would be much more usable. {quote} If more than one metric is available via ServiceLoader, how will the desired one be identified? {quote} The idea here is that ServiceLoader will load all factory classes for a load metrics. Each factory is identifiable by String name ( say something like String getId(); ). Factory knows how to constract that particular LoadMetric class and users don't have to specify FQCN in the AS configuration. WDYT? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
