Yes you can. By design this is all pluggable and one could employ all kinds of strategies. This agent has property based identification & discovery that can be set on the command line. $ java -jar generated/org.apache.ace.launcher.jar help Apache ACE Launcher Usage: java -jar ace-launcher.jar [identification=<id>] [discovery=<ace-server>] [options...] All known options are: agents: configures multiple management agents: agent-id,identification,discovery[;agent-id,identification,discovery]* auth: point to the properties file containing the authentication credentials for a certain subsystem: <dir/file/url> discovery: sets the ACE server to connect to id(?:entification)?: sets the target ID to use bundle: adds an additional bundle to be started with this management agent: bundle=my.fully.qualified.BundleActivator fwOption: sets framework options for the OSGi framework to be created. This argument may be repeated help: prints this help message Example: java -jar ace-launcher.jar identification=MyTarget discovery=http://provisioning.company.com:8080 fwOption=org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra=sun.misc,com.sun.management Note that I recently proposed a new agent [0], found in projects "org.apache.ace.agent[.launcher]" , that aims to be simpler, more configurable and easier to extend. However, that is still bleeding edge and not included in the default build yet ;) greetz Bram [0] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-347 > Best regards > > Bruce > > On 15 May 2013, at 18:09, Bram de Kruijff <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Bruce, >> >> welcome to ACE! :) >> >> On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 6:18 PM, Bruce Jackson <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Hi Christian >>> >>> Ok, I've done that now, and built everything using the instructions on that >>> page.
