In this sense you admit that the ./lib directory contains static libs that can only be changed with a reboot. So maybe a better interface is something like: | | | boolean scheduleLibUpdate(URL url); | | boolean scheduleLibRemoval(String libname); | | | The 2 schedule methods will store the new lib/info for removal somewhere, then the server upon boot will have to make those changes. | | The thing is, the changes need to take place *before* ./conf/jboss-service.xml is loaded, because this is where the libs are "loaded". | | Maybe we could pass a new arg at command line, e.g. --update-libs to triger this behaviour. | | In any case we could proceed with (1) and optionally do (2). | Agreed lets do (1). For the first phase we will not be requiring any removal or update of jars from /lib, so let's not do (2). Overall the datasource component of the admin console will attempt to abstract away some of the details of the implementation. An administrator will optionally specify a driver jar to upload and some datasource properties, without having to know precisely what we are going to do with that jar. In future versions I hope that we will be able to move away from copying the driver jars into /lib, without affecting how administrators use the console.
