Hi, This is to raise some concerns over the current server profiles. Although we are able to control the bundles which are loaded to the runtime based on the -Dprofile parameter, we still lack the ability of removing files and modifying configuration files when the server starts on a profile. And this is forcing us to start unnecessary bundles at startup. Let me explain...
API Manager has both webapps and a gateway in its distribution. The synapse bundles are only required in the Gateway profiles. However since the axis2.xml file of API Manager defines the http transport senders and receivers based on the Synapse passthrough senders and receivers, the axis2 engine will try to load the synapse classes on startup. Ideally if we were able to modify the axis2.xml on the Publisher, Store and Key Manager profiles and replace the passthrough senders and receivers with our standard http senders and receivers, we could avoid loading the synapse bundles on the Publisher, Store and Key Manager. The same problem occurs for registry indexers and handlers. Since the registry indexers and handlers are configured on the registry.xml, even though these are only required in the publisher and store profiles, these bundles will be activated and running even on the Gateway, Key Manager and Traffic Manager. So unless we modify the registry.xml on those nodes manually, we can't stop those bundles from running. Another problem we're facing is the inability to remove webapps. Since all webapps in the repository/deployment/server/webapps and repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps are deployed into the runtime, unless we remove these webapps manually there is no other way to stop them from being deployed in unrelated profiles. I heard there is a discussion to bind a profile to a container. Which would solve these problems. However it still won't help the "non-container" deployments. Are there ways to overcome the above mentioned limitations and enhance the efficiency of our profiles?
