Hello,
Sorry that this is kind of long, but I'm currently working with a fortune
500 client that is trying to select an App Server to base a product on.
The choice is now between JBoss and WebLogic. One of the main features
that they are requiring is the ability to dynamically add connection pools
and their respective datasources, without taking the server down. I think
that WebLogic has a proprietary API that supports adding connection pools,
but I don't think it will handle dynamically adding a DataSource to JNDI
and making it accessible at run-time. Regardless, I think JBoss has huge
advantages over WebLogic when thinking of packaging an app server as part
of a product, but I need some idea about how/when/if this functionality
works in JBoss.
I haven't found any documentation on it, but I scanned the mailing list
archives and found one discussion about this that makes it sound like it is
not currently supported, but possibly will be. If it's not there, is there
a working prototype that I could get to show them as a proof of concept, or
is this something that I'd have to build myself?
If the solution is for me to build it, can someone give me an idea of what
the best way to go about it would be? I've just really started digging
into the underlying architecture of JBoss and how everything fits together,
so excuse my ignorance. I assume it could possibly be done as an MBean
(MLet) service that could be called by custom code to dynamically add the
pools and DataSources. Is this feasible? How hard would it be to
implement a working prototype of this on top of the stable 2.2.2 code base?
I appreciate any help.
Chris Murphy
