I'd like to be able to deploy multiple database connection pools
without redeploying the TranQL RAR every time. I just put in a change so
that the TranQL connector will go into geronimo/repository/tranql/rars as
part of the assembly process. So I'd like to be able to deploy a copy of
it by just specifying the deployment plan with a reference to the RAR in
the repository.
Currently there's something like this in, say, the geronimo web
deployment plan:
<resource>
<external-rar>tranql/rars/tranql-connector-1.0-SNAPSHOT.rar</external-rar>
<connector ... />
I'd like to move that "external-rar" tag into the Geronimo
connector deployment plan, so that you can do the same thing even if
you're just deploying a standalone RAR from the command line. So if you
construct a deployment plan that looks like this:
<connector ...>
<external-rar>tranql/rars/...</external-rar>
...
</connector>
Then to deploy it, you could just use:
java -jar bin/deployer.jar --install --plan my-ra-plan.xml
Any thoughts or objections?
Thanks,
Aaron
