Deployement

During development it is easiest to deploy block by using an (possibly graphical) OSGi console. Is this ok for production systems, should we have some web gui?



A graphical installer is fine for development but IMHO not for production. I need a reproducible state of a system.

Suppose you have a cluster of 5 app servers running Cocoon. I don't want to connect to every server and install/uninstall blocks there. This is way to error-prone.


Agree. This can still be done using the OSGi configuration service as it just is a API, we could have an implementation that take an XML or a set of XML files that describes the deployment.

What I think is some kind of block-installation descriptor[1]. I think M2 will help us here but I haven't had a closer look how this could be done.


Yes, something like that. I'm not up to speed yet with M2, so I don't know how we could use M2 here.

I hope I find some time before Amsterdam to learn more about M2 and also work on the big picture of block deployment again.
