Hi, we are developing a new product catalog type app against JBoss and one
of the features we'd like to support is the ability dynamically add/remove
product catalogs from the site.
We have:
1. A master database plus multiple catalog databases.
2. The master database will contain a *catalog registry entry* for each
catalog registered in the system (contains info like catalog code, jdbc
connection string, etc) - entries are added via some back-office web-based
admin function.
3. When we want to browse/load products from a specific catalog, the idea is
to look at the catalog registry and obtain the jdbc connection string for
the specific database - create the connection and proceed.
4. The addition of a new catalog database should not involve a new
redeployment (we want end users to be able to do this). Only the master
database should be specified during the deployment.
Questions:
1. It appears at this stage as if we cannot use CMP for the catalog database
part at this point since we have to specify the connection string during the
deployment process and cannot do it dynamically. Is this correct?
2. If we have to do it using BMP, how would the best way be support this?
3. Any other innovative ideas on how to support this concept?
Thanks in advance
Xander
