Hi, Just for your information, here's the terminology used in AutoDeploy. Maybe we can find some matching points.
Environment : an environment is a container which hosts update units and define the update plans. Update Units: an update unit is a resource which can be included in one or more steps of an update plan. AutoDeploy supports the following update units: JEE application server (weblogic, websphere, jboss) JDBC data sources JMS servers/queues/topics Shared lib JNDI aliases Location (local or remote filesystem) System command JEE artifacts (ear/war) Configuration files (with regexp substitution) Database (with SQL scripts execution) Update Plan: an update plan is the workflow description of an update. It mixes update units by steps to perform an update logic. Maybe it can give us some ideas ;) Regards JB ------Original Message------ From: Carsten Ziegeler To: [email protected] ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: Re: Terminology Sent: Nov 12, 2009 15:50 Marcel Offermans wrote > Apart from confusing some users, I also discovered that not everybody > uses the same terms.

Yepp, I guess this will be interesting discussion as we might get different suggestions for the same thing :) But I guess we can manage that. My first suggestions would be: - Artifacts (Bundles would be wrong and components could be confusing as these are not components in the oo sense) - Features (for Groups) - License is the tough one. Maybe its something like "product"? Or "distribution"? Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler [email protected]
