There is a farm service letting you deploy explicitly on one machine and have the deployment replicated over the whole farm. OK, first I took the bait... >From a more well rounded viewpoint, it would be useful to be able to call the MainDeployer mbean from ant: -- you can deploy lots of files remotely without telling the scanner about them explicitly. -- you can deploy packages in a specified order -- you can avoid the delay of waiting for the scanner to notice the package. In general, it would be nice to have a jmx caller task in ant-- you could use it for controlling just about anything in jboss. Maybe I'll take this opportunity to once again push the idea that ant should be a bunch of mbeans running in a jmx mbean server. So I guess jonas will beat jboss at this, since I have to be out of town next week;-) (unless someone else takes this on) david jencks > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > For additional commands, e-mail: > > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
