Yes, I want to officialy apologize for this.
See most of our reputation, and what we boast about on the website, is the
"ease of use" in deployment of jBoss. That is something we had in jBoss 1.0
due to the hot-deploy feature and the "drop and run" approach to compilation
(i.e. none:). This has made droves of developers/IT shops come our way, we
are aware that our success is due to the "admin-friendly" features.
jBoss 2.0 goes even further, with dev-friendly features as well (monitoring
an open directory) you just touch your ejb-jar.xml file and it redeploys
AUTOMATICALLY when you press that save button in your IDE. You have to see
it to believe it!!
Now, we just released jBoss 2.0 and we did not pay full attention to making
sure that folks, would experience the same "admin-friendly" features and
leave the first day with that spark in their eyes, going "wow, I just saw
the future of web admin...". In fact our deployment is almost as
complicated as everyone's else. <not!/;->
We are working on that, I/we might done by tonight, so that we provide full
defaults, just like it was in jBoss 1.0.
If you want to work with just the ejb-jar.xml file that is fine and then we
provide the EJX gui to do that. No more jboss.xml/jaws.xml craziness if you
don't want it... Advanced jBoss interaction (jBoss container personality
configuration, jaws O/R mapper configuration) ought to be that...
"advanced". Everything is already in place I am just doing the wiring on
top of Rickard's work.
I am almost there, as Rickard provided most of the default jboss.xml and
jaws.xml and I hooked it up this morning... patience my friends, patience
> (multiple iterations of 'edit one to three xml files with EJX; push jar
Yes, sorry about that, we will remove this need, only ONE xml file (the
standard EJB one) and leave the two others for "advanced users".
from the "smiley admin-friendly app-server",
:-))))
kind regards
