Ted Kirby commented on GERONIMO-1418:
-------------------------------------

Yes, yuck to long target name typing.  I've suggested using environment 
variables here: 
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC20/multiple-repositories-and-server-instances.html.

I'd like to see a short name I can type that uniquely identifies exactly one 
config store.  In the initial example, I see "name=Customer".  So, Customer 
seems the correct name for this config store.

I think regexp is better than contains.  However, I prefer my short name 
example above to matching, so I know for sure what I am getting.  

Also, I don't see the rationale for deploying into more than one target.  So, 
if you want it/need it, then explicitly list the targets you want, but I 
wouldn't do it automagically!

> allow user to specify deployment targets by "nickname"

> This is a follow-on to the patch I submitted that allows Geronimo to have 2 
> configuration stores.  Now that I can specify the config-store on the command 
> line with the --targets switch I'm getting sick of typing the full target 
> name (e.g. 
> geronimo.server:J2EEApplication=null,J2EEModule=geronimo/j2ee-system/1.0/car,J2EEServer=geronimo,j2eeType=ConfigurationStore,name=Customer).
>   This patch allows the user to specify any part of the target name (e.g. 
> Customer) instead of the whole target name.  It's pretty crude, so if there's 
> a more elegant way to do something like this I'm all ears.
