[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-9277) AS adapter does not enable polling when start/shutdown commands are disabled

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9277?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-9277: ------------------------------------ This is not true. The deploy only server had an automatic-success start method, and you demanded, for your demos, that this was unacceptable and that it must start in "started" mode at all times since it's only purpose is to deploy. You said it hurt your demos to have to explain why you create a deploy only server, and then "start" something that doesn't actually "start". You then directed me to open a jira and change it. This was the jira: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8671 And honestly your point back then was completely valid. If a deploy-only server's only job is to deploy, then it should begin in state 'started' and always be deploying, and if the user does not want to deploy, then he should disable automatic publishing for that server. But, as a deploy-only server is most-often used to deploy, it should default to automatic publishing, and it can only do that when started. I'm still not exactly sure what you want, or if what you want is possible. You basically want two separate functions: having start/stop "connect or disconnect", or having start/stop "actually start or stop" a server. However having a start/stop who's only job is to "connect or disconnect" basically just means publish or not publish... which is the exact same thing as turning off automatic publishing for that server... no? If I'm wrong I'd love to hear more thoughts on it, but for now I'm still baffled as to what exactly you're looking for. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
