Ben Parees commented on JBIDE-19010:
------------------------------------

ok there are at least a couple possible things being requested here... 
1) ability to just run an existing image with no buildconfig.  I think this is what the original request was...  "i have a DB image, i want to run it"  - you can do that with an appropriate template, templates don't have to define buildconfigs/source-repos.  In the "oc" CLI tool this is accomplished by running "oc new-app [someimage]", no template needed.  Is the request here to do something similar?  ie not require a template?
1b) i want to run that image, but link it to an existing set of components (I want to add a DB image/service to my existing running app) - no good way to do this today in openshift...  basically you can create the DB service but then you have to copy the env variables (username/password) over to the existing app and redeploy it to pickup the new env.

2) ability to build my wars elsewhere and then use them to construct an app image - you can do this today w/ the EAP image.  if your source repo contains wars (instead of, or in addition to, a pom.xml and source), the wars will be copied into the EAP deployments directory. the downside being you're putting binary artifacts in a git repo..no a best practice

3) ability to build my wars elsewhere and perform a build that consumes them without putting them in my repos.  The build would then pull the wars from that "elsewhere" instead of from a git repo.  we have a plan to support this soon but do not currently.

> This is the usecase where we want to deploy an image that most likely does not include a buildconfig, i.e. a database image.
