[JBoss-user] Revision thoughts

[Rick LaBanca]

Title: RE: [JBoss-user] JMX question

Wondering what others think about this issue (may be minor to most of you!)   I use 3.0.0. If I want to run 3.0.1 or 3.0.2, I can't do it just by plopping in my wars/config. This is because some of the settingshave changed (jetty packaged differently, jetty config for setting dirallowed is different).   Also, a 3.0.1 or 3.0.2 client can't talk to 3.0.0 servers as far as rmi under ejb goes, in my case anyway. I suspect an internal class shot over rmi changed, because my objects haven't and should have the same signature.   I have no problem with either of these, jboss just keeps getting  better. But I would like it if only compatible bug fixes and compatable packaging changes got into .0.0.n revs. In other words make sure an a.b.c can communicate with an a.b.x.   This may be nitpicking, especially when getting something so good for free! But it's more than the rev numbers. It is nice to have a software life cycle where useful fixes get rolled into compatable revs, and incompatable changes/features get put off (3.2). I really neede the circularity fix, but really can't use .1 or .2 because of needing the server to stay put right now.... waddya think?   Rick
