[jboss-dev] Re: ServiceBindingManager status?

[Brian Stansberry]

(copying the general jboss dev list)

I believe the problem with ServiceBindingManager and the web server is 
the same as the one discussed on 
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=128642.  In AS 
4.x, the TomcatDeployer was a JMX-based service, created via a 
-service.xml.  Now it's a pojo service and isn't managed via the 
ServiceController.  ServiceBindingManager integrates with the 
ServiceController to do its magic with port 8080. No ServiceController 
== no magic.

We need a strategy for Beta4.  Long run, as Scott said on the forum, 
"ServiceBindingManager has to be replaced with a component that 
integrates with the profile service to use the management view."  I 
don't see that happening this week for beta4. :)  So, what to do?

1) Leave it broken for Beta4; do it right for CR1.  But do we have the 
resources to do that for CR1?

2) Return the jboss.web:service=WebServer service to deployment via 
-service.xml.  There is discussion of refactoring TomcatDeployer at 
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=112404 . 
Perhaps the piece that will end up in deploy can be made a JMX-based 
service again.  But, AIUI, that goes against the medium-term goal of 
pojo-izing the service.

3) See if we can find a way to make the SBM work if an @JMX annotation 
is added to a pojo service.  That doesn't work now.  Would probably need 
Adrian's help to make that happen, if it's possible at all.

Thoughts?
