Do tell ... sounds interesting. I think perhaps some API for internal hot configuration is the best ticket, with a number ways of a) requesting changes to assemby configuration and b) approving them (sysop concept).
1) Should editing the unzipped sar's assembly.xml acheive the same?
At the moment yes. I just started work on a GUI about 3 hours ago and a new deployment system. If that works out then I am not sure ... still experimenting.
Peter, don't worry on my account. Just planning ahead and the feature's not need for many months for Jesktop.2) Could there be a way of programatically switching the block? This would require of cause a reboot (of sorts) of Avalon.
It will be enabled ... eventually. Not sure when though. Depends on how things evolve. I really have limited time at the moment. It is something needed for me to support my needs. Eventually blocks will be able to be dynamically updated from urls. But what you are talking about (reassemply/recomposing) is a step required beforehand. Before recomposing we need to have a management system implemented so that we can actually trigger recomposing ;)
More important for me would be ...
void shutdownBlock(Block block);
void shutdownServerApp(Block block); // one of the blocks from the sar is the key
void shutdownAvalon(Block requestee);
... as system.exit(0) from inside a block is ugly ;-)
