[jbosstools-dev] JSR-77 Summary

[Rob Stryker]

JSR-77 allows, via JMX, to get a list of which servers are running, 
which modules they have, which resources they have, etc. From this model 
I can make an effective list of what's deployed on the server through 
simple JMX calls.

What I still cannot do, though, is control the modules. The portions of 
the spec which deal with managing (starting, stopping) the modules is 
optional, and JBoss does not support this. So, while I can get a nice 
list of what's deployed / running, I cannot manage any of it.

Is it worth-while for me to add to the Servers View a tree element (and 
children) dealing with deployed / running modules considering I cannot 
control them? Is this worth pushing up to the platform to force them to 
implement when JSR-77 is being removed in the future?

Thoughts appreciated.
