Some more input on steps 7 and 9.

I agree with your other comments (snipped out to keep this short).

7. Upload cloud.jar, find deployable composite http://cloud#cloud in it, mark it deployed. The red-x on deployed composite http://store#store is now gone.

We should be able to deploy multiple composites in one shot as they might have cross-references.

Yes, but the simple "one composite at a time" deployment scheme that I described still supports your cross-reference case, or am I missing something?

Or the GUI could select the required
contributions/composites as we mark one deployable composite.


We could do that, except that the required composites might not be available in the domain yet.

9. Select http://cloud#cloud and associate it with machine2. Cloud.jar and assets.jar are downloaded to machine2 and machine2 is configured with http://cloud#cloud.

Who initiates the download? Is it a pull or push model?

I was thinking about push: the domain triggers the download.

To avoid over-engineering this too quickly, how about starting simple and just generating a zip of the artifacts and let the administrator FTP and unzip it on the target machine?

In other words I think we need to be comfortable with executing the install / resolve / deploy / configure / distribute steps manually before trying to automate them.
