[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss ESB] - Re: ESB Packaging

[sacha.labourey@jboss.com]

Hello Kevin,

For what's needed at this point, the current MK can probably provide you with everything that is necessary for clean redeploys.

Concerning the reliance on the AS, that is pretty obvious, yes. I can provide you with a minimal distro of the AS (or scripts to setup one for the ESB) if needed, that's pretty easy. The current setup is fine to test the ESB behaviour but not as a final distribution mechanism (it is way to overloaded). Same for the minimal/all distributions, we probably don't need them for the OS => the final ESB distrib will most probably be much smaller than the OS one.

Finally, I think it would be a mistake not to properly componentize the ESB in services with proper packaging /configuration for the GA: that would make it much more difficult to setup and understand. Also, many JBoss AS users would find it *trivial* to use the ESB if it had a similar look-n-feel-n-configure. However, if they face an AS distribution with static JARs inside an EAR and JVM-wide configuration files available as System Properties, I bet the experience will not be the same at all. That won't help MarkL's 30 minutes criteria ;)

Cheers,



Sacha
