Aaron Mulder updated GERONIMO-557:
----------------------------------

    Fix Version: 1.1
    Description: 
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.
