[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-557?page=comments#action_58195 ] Sandip Ghayal commented on GERONIMO-557: ----------------------------------------
Also we should allow facility where one can change the plan without need to redeploy the Application. EJB1 points to Resource1 in plan ABC, version 1 EJB1 point to Resource2 in Plan ABC, Version 2. Actually deploying version 2 of application could take lot of time and might not be required if the changes are just configuration changes, like e.g. above. So having a facility to hot swap the plans could be really useful. > smooth application upgrade/versioning > ------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-557 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-557 > Project: Apache Geronimo > Type: New Feature > Reporter: David Jencks > > There have been several requests for the ability to change fairly fundamental > bits of application configuration at runtime, such as which resource a > resource-ref points to. Currently the only way to do this is to redeploy the > reconfigured application, and changing this would break a lot of our > implementation and some of our philosophy. > Perhaps a better way to approach this kind of problem is to version > applications, and have a process for seamlessly switching between versions of > an application. > So, to change the target of a resource-ref, you'd configure a new "copy" of > your app with the new target, deploy it, and undeploy the old version. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
