Version 5
    Overview

    Wheras in 5.0.0 has one global profile managing deployments, in 5.1 there are now more active profiles with a possible relationships/dependecies on other profiles - called a sub-profile.

    The main profiles are:

    • The root profile - a profile based on the ${jboss.server.name} with the it's sub-profiles:
      • bootstrap - representing 'conf/jboss-service.xml'
      • deployers - the deployers/ folder
      • applications - a hot-deployment profile for the deploy/ and additional user folders

     

    In general, a profile represents a named collection of deployments on a server. Furthermore, it can also apply different behavior to the deployments managed by this profile. E.g. some profiles provide hot-deployment checks and allow remote distribution of deployments over the DeploymentManager (like the "application" profile). A different profile could also provide a farming service to distribute the deployments over a cluster.

    The main beans are:

    • BootstrapProfileFactory: A basic configuration for profiles which are loaded during the bootstrap process.
      • bootstrapURI - pointing to the jboss-service.xml.
      • deployersURI - pointing to the deployers/ folder.
      • applicationsURIs - a list of user application folders.
      • attachmentStoreRoot - the path where admin edits are stored.
    • ProfileService: The entry point service for accessing/administering server profiles.
    • ProfileServiceBootstrap: The Bootstrap implementation that uses the ProfileService to load the profile deployments.

    • ProfileFactory: A factory for creating a profile based on it's meta data.
    • ProfileRepositoryFactory: A factory creating a DeploymentRepository for a specific profile implementation.
    • AttachmentStore: A attachment repository storing attachment edits.
    • StructureModificationChecker: A checker used to track deployment modifications for hot-deployment.
    • DeploymentFilter: A filter for excluded deployment pre- and suffixes.

     

    hd-scanner-jboss-beans.xml

    The hd-scanner-jboss-beans.xml contains the HDScanner. A scanner which checks for modified deployments which are getting redeployed. This file can be safely removed to disable hot-deployment checks.

     

    profileservice-jboss-beans.xml

    The profileservice-jboss-beans.xml contains a set of Plugins for the ProfileService.

    The main beans are:

    • DeploymentManager: A deployment plugin for ProfileService.,
    • ManagementView: A plugin for managing ManagedDeployments and ManagedObjects.
    • ProfileServiceProxyFactory: A remoting proxy factory for ProfileService.

     

    profileservice-secured.jar

    This .jar contains a secured ejb3 facade for ProfileService. To secure ProfileService it is required to remove the unsecure proxy binding from the ProfileServiceProxyFactory in 'profileservice-jboss-beans.xml' and change it to a local binding. Furthermore the ejb3 bindings would need to be updated to this new binding.
