[jbosstools-dev] Question on BPEL publisher

[Rob Stryker]

Looking over the code of BPEL's publisher, it is very different from 
most publishers we have. First, it does not respond to incremental 
publish requests. Second, it only works in local mode, not remote mode. 
And third, it seems to publish multiple jars, rather than simply 
overwriting the previous one. Fourth, the publisher itself seems to keep 
a little model of how many jars were deployed with what versions, 
something that's pretty non-standard.

I'm currently trying to unify some of the publisher's actions and to 
ensure that they work for all use cases. With this in mind, we must 
remember we may be switching to a management deployment in the near 
future.  And, of course, if possible, I'd like to ensure all modules can 
be published in some way regardless of configuration.

So I'd like to gather some requirements from you all on how exactly 
you'd like a server set up to deploy to RSE mode, or to deploy using 
management api only,  to actually function with regards to a bpel module.

Thanks.
