[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-1259) reduce the size of the combined deployment plan: package deployment plans in a jar and pass this jar to the deployer
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1259?page=comments#action_12362126 ] Aaron Mulder commented on GERONIMO-1259: Are you suggesting that we change our "deployment plan format" so an EAR "deployment plan" can be a JAR file containing META-INF/geronimo-application.xml where that file has alt-dd elements referring to other module's deployment plans within the JAR (relative to the root of the JAR)? Our current EAR plan format has the advantage of being human-readable. Do you think reducing the number of bytes in the plan at the cost of making it a binary file is worthwhile? I have my doubts. But I'm not sure that's the correct reading of this issue -- could you elaborate?

[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1259?page=comments#action_12362402 ] simon godik commented on GERONIMO-1259: --- Deployment plans for an EAR are still readable, just unpack jar file with deployment plans. For maven users, deployment plan project will produce a jar file with deployment plans. IMO non-trivial plan modularity is worth a step of packaging plans in a jar. This jira does not break usual deployment; people can still use combined deployment plan. Deployer needs to recognize that plans are packaged in a jar and unpack it before doing it's usual work. > reduce the size of the combined deployment plan: package deployment plans in > a jar and pass this jar to the deployer > > > Key: GERONIMO-1259 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1259 > Project: Geronimo > Type: New Feature > Components: deployment > Versions: 1.0-M5 > Reporter: simon godik > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 1.1 > > External plan is prefered method of deployment.
