Hi, Can anyone tell me why the GenericServer server definition (.serverdef) is tied to the server runtime rather than to the server?
The use case I have is this: A module is associated with a runtime. There can be several different kinds of server (local, remote, clustered) - but they have the same runtime i.e. they have the same capabilities, the same classpath etc. It should be possible to target the module at the runtime, and then deploy it to any of the server types (without having to change the runtime the module is targetted at). I do not understand why, on the one hand the runtime and server type are separate, but when using the GenericServer, the server definition is tied back to the runtime, effectively requiring a 1:1 coupling between the server and the runtime. It seems to me that this defeats the point of the server and runtime separation. Would it be possible to consider enhancing the design to allow for this (IMO) key use case? thanks David ------------------------- David Black Cape Clear Software _______________________________________________ wtp-dev mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/wtp-dev
