[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-11297) AS7 ability to add deployment folders on separate file systems

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11297?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12676530#comment-12676530 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-11297:
-------------------------------------

In AS7, scanners added are persistent even across server restarts. This is important to note for several reasons. Adding the same scanner name twice will result in an error. Two scanners by different names scanning the same path will attempt to deploy the artifact twice. This results in a strange situation where it is added, then undeployed, then added by the second scanner, but undeployed by the second scanner due to the .undeployed marker.  

So care must be taken that a predictable naming strategy is used for our scanners and that such changes are carefully tracked and maintained by the tools. 

Note: Previous versions did not persist through app server restarts, and so it was safe to add new scanners or new paths at startup almost without any care.

> Servers earlier than as7 have a management task which can be called to add an arbitrary folder as one that the deployment scanner should scan. Ensure that jbosstools can make use of this for as7.
