[jboss-as7-dev] Farming service in AS 7

[Jason T. Greene]

Even if you don't use domain mode, it is pretty easy to write a script 
that deployes to a bunch of servers.

For example:

cat > foo
connect host1
deploy blah.jar
connect host2
deploy blah.jar
Ctrl-D

jboss-asdmin.sh file=foo

Also you can use a maven plugin, a custom java app, or even a perl 
script using HTTP/JSON:
