It very cool feature. Many developers wait for it for couple years. Great work!

@Max:

Good point about assembling archives in JBoss Tools.

Yep, the full scale of the boot properties can be configured:

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/bootstrap/trunk/spi-as/src/main/java/org/jboss/bootstrap/spi/as/config/JBossASBasedServerConfig.java

So you’d do:

server.getConfiguration().serverBaseLocation(“/path/to/serverBase”);

Or alternatively you can set the legacy system property “jboss.server.base.url” or “jboss.server.base.dir”.

@Pete:

Yep, I want to iron out a couple hiccups, then both Seam and 299 should become the next use cases.

Great work – we should take a few minutes to add a couple of JSR-299 test cases to the testsuite to ensure that it is running properly in this env.

The virtual archive stuff is going to be great for the next-generation of testing!

Hi Andrew,

Looks freaking awsome

The virtual archives are sweet, but would just like to point out that the overhead of packaging is more or less zero with JBoss Tools – its the startup time and “remoteness” that is the biggest timesaver. Great job!

Note, I like the virtual archives too – but mostly because of the fun stuff it brings

btw. does the api now allow for setting a separate config directory or is it all based of AS_HOME ?

i.e. can I do server.getConfiguration().jbossHome(“/path/to/JBOSS_HOME”)
.bindAddress(“myhost.com”).configHome(“/another/path/config”).serverName(“myconfig”);

This would allow users creating different configs without “polluting” the default install and it would fit really well with the model we allow for in the tools.
