[jboss-dev-forums] [Deployers on JBoss (Deployers/JBoss)] - Remoting 3 deployers

[david.lloyd@jboss.com]

I'm working on creating deployers for Remoting 3.  The design I'm thinking of will allow deployment and/or configuration of:

* Endpoints
* Protocol support modules
* Protocol server instances
* Server interceptor modules
* Service instances
* Remote endpoint connections

Each of these items should be individually deployable, but it should also be possible to deploy multiple units at once (the individual configurations are fairly simple at this point, and it would be silly to require the user to write 10 4-line XML files just to get a basic deployment running).  I believe that it is most appropriate to express each of these items as a simple XML configuration.

So my first question is, what is the most appropriate way to approach this deployer?  And, is it better to make a separate deployer for each type, or to have one deployer that covers everything?

Finally, is it better to use JAXPDeployer/JAXBDeployer(s) or is there a more preferred way to deploy using an XML configuration?  It seems like every deployer in the AS codebase does something a bit different, and I've been unable to find a good example of what a deployer ought to look like.

Thanks.
