Subject: Re: [JBoss-user] Launching Swing
Applications from JBoss 3.0.0
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.
cheers
dim

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.

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.
