[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-2625) add an "application stop/application start" option to jboss server view

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-2625?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-2625: ------------------------------------ Thus far, our research has shown that our servers do not support "stopping" a deployment while leaving it in running memory. AS7 (as far as we know) does not support stopping a deployment, only undeploying it. Undeploying a deployment unit removes it from memory but leaves it on the disk. There is no way to leave the deployment in memory and temporarily stop it and its threads from responding to requests. Previous versions of the app server have mbeans that have a 'stop' command associated with them, but these actions do not seem to stop the deployment from running or responding in any way at all. User does not have to shut down the entire app server. He only needs to undeploy the offending application. We could make 'stop' effectively initiate an undeploy behind the scenes, but there is limited benefit to this except a minor enhancement to the user's workflow when they want to restart / redeploy the application. They would no longer need to go "add / remove from server" or "run on server" to re-add it to the server, only "start" again (causing a new redeploy). The web GUI has a similar pattern, labeling the eclipse "start/stop" as "enable/disable" (effectively causes an deploy / undeploy inside the app server). It also has "add / remove" which delete or re-add all artifacts to/from the filesystem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
