well I have actually implemented it ... but I can't test it. I implemented it on top of jakarta-tomcat-4.0/service product (basically a daemon/service runner). However it has issues with the JVM I primarily use (IBMs). And I can't switch to Suns jdk because I recently updated to a new version of glibc on linux that breaks Suns JVM (and I don't want to switch back to win32). I you are willing to be a guinea pig ... errr I mean tester ... I can upload the classes and tack on a basic script to launch it like this. However I can't guarentee it works ;) For a long term solution it would be best to wait for Leos JMX manager to get a good client (hint hint) and then we could safely and securely manage the servers that way. > - also, a while ago we > mentioned the potential for non-expanded sar files - anything changing > that impacts these two areas ? It is about a 20 line change. Essentially you goto DefaultSarDeployer and remove expand() function and reimplement URL[] getClassPath( final File file ) to create URLs of the form jar:file:/path/to/my.sar!/blocks/foo.bar rather than file:/path/to/my/blocks/foo.bar If it is a feature you want then I will try to do it next time I get the chance. The main reason I haven't done it is because some server rely on things being expanded to filesystem and I wasn't sure how to handle this. I thought about adding an optional ant script to do "install" things or maybe some other descriptor. Really not sure atm.
