what about java web start? seems simpler to me (I used it, pretty easy, but can't deliver different versions to different users afaik)

This program would read batch script of some kind that contains each users configuration. Then this program could connect to each users' MBeanServer via a rmi Connector and change the config for that user. So, running a batch script to change all user's config is not a problem. A good ref is the free book about JMX on www.theserverside.com Greg Dmitri Colebatch wrote: hey all, I'm very interested in this thread - mainly because I've just started a contract in exactly that sort of situation. to be honest, I'm not exactly sure how many users there are, but I believe its ~100 or so. atm there is a logon script on all the machines that copies the "appropriate" version of the application to the client when the user logs on (windows boxes). the hurdle I face atm, is that the existing application has different versions deployed at a time - ie. some users might have version 1.87 and some might have 1.86 - basically the more forgiving users will get the new version first - sort of as a beta test. now - to me, the idea of having jboss running locally on every machine, and deploying the application via filesystem/http would make distribution a piece of cake. but the manager likes the current situation in that he can change the batch script and immediately put user A on one version and user B on another. anyone have any thoughts about how you might go about doing that? (thinking aloud) I suppose he could remotely log onto the user's JBoss 'server' and using the JMX console undeploy the old version and redeploy the new - but you couldn't do that by hand for all of them, there would need to be some sort of automation. I suppose I really should have a read of the jboss farm stuff that has been done.... but wanted to share my situation for input/feedback. cheersdim ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Turner To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2002 5:03 AM Subject: Re: [JBoss-user] Launching Swing Applications from JBoss 3.0.0 If you were in a large corp and given the task of writing a Swing app that was to be deployed on some 200 PCs in the corp, and you had to support configurations and updates to all those 200 PCs, JBoss would be the way to go. All 200 PCs could deploy the Swing app from a central server. All PCs could deploy updates from the central server. And you could manage configuration of all apps from your machine via the jmx-console. All that is doable by having JBoss be the basis for the Swing app. Dave Smith wrote: An intresting read but I fail to see how this is usefull in all but the most trival example. When a JFrame starts it uses the DISPLAY enviroment variable (UNIX systems) to determine where to display it. So if I am running a local JBOSS container on my system then it would be good for rapid protyping but for the field? I have not had alot of sleep this week, please enlighten me on other uses for this or if I am way off base.
