I was actually expecting this to be built as a module in Infinispan's source tree, the deliverable being a ZIP file that contains a "datagrid" directory and all the necessary elements that can be run as a profile in AS/EAP 5.1.  Considering that most of the work involved would be XML config files (MC beans) and perhaps an integration class or two, I don't see the need for it to affect the AS source tree (at least not in it's current "tech preview" state).

I was hoping to target AS/EAP 5.x first and then move on to 6, but FWIW any such profile for 6 should then make use of Paul's work in deploying a CacheManager.  In the case of HotRod and Memcached, setting up an endpoint involves selecting the appropriate ProtocolServer implementation 

	http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/Infinispan/trunk/server/core/src/main/scala/org/infinispan/server/core/ProtocolServer.scala?r=1886

and calling start() on it with the CacheManager to be used.

The REST endpoint is a little more tricky as it is a WAR file that Infinispan generates that would need to be deployed in a servlet container.  The current WAR file creates its own CacheManager but we can change this to look up a CacheManager from elsewhere if configured to do so (perhaps via servlet or system properties).
