Randy,
Thanx for pointing out the reason why most of the JBossManager's methods have been stubbed out. Maybe it is a good idea to document this in the source itself.
I've just read Tom Pesendorfer's reply in a different thread, pointing me at his wiki update.
On the wiki he describes that the portlets need to be undeployed each time JBoss is stopped and restarted, see http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2/JBossHowToDetailed#head -5632971a9f0137c586f3c1da93e50dc9bea7604b.
I think this needs to be improved such that JBoss can be restarted without interferring with jetspeed's portlets.
I do not know the full details of the JBoss hot deployment functionality, but for general web applications it suffices to drop the war file in the deploy directory, it is then automatically deployed.
My comments are based on jboss as of about 2 years ago. JBoss 4 with jsr-88 deployment may possibly work differently and be more amenable to what you want.
What you want may be difficult to arrange. JBoss undeploys everything on shutdown, and redeploys it automatically by scanning the hot-deploy directories on startup. If you leave the portlets "deployed" on shutdown, what will happen when the portlet application gets redeployed on startup? How will you determine if differences between the persisted state of the portlets is due to things like customization or due to changing the portlet application itself?
thanks david jencks
I am quite happy to cooperate with you on this.

Marcel,
I am not familiar with deployment under JBoss. However, the implementation is stubbed out because the inderlying file system PAM deployment strategy might have been thought to be sufficient. Perhaps it is not.
I am wondering what you intended to do while customizing/implementing the JBossManager. I was also looking for any insight you might have on the general approach of letting JBoss simply pick up webapps war files dynamically dropped into its deployment directory. In otherwords, how and does JBoss implement an autoDeploy or liveDeploy Tomcat equivalant?
Anyway, if you do develop/implement JBossManager, I still plan on being able to support it since I am leaving the existing PAM implementation functional.
