WRT: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6693
We might want to add a notion of DeploymentOptions to the DeploymentManager instead of just a boolean argument like:
DeploymentProgress distribute(String name, URL contentURL, DeploymentOption... options);
I would prefer this, as Ian also once pointed out that things like FailIfExists should also be possible to be specified when deploying an application.
Basically i see this more as an optional option, as a Profile or DeploymentRepository might not support all options.
One thing i'm not really sure is if using the distribute(String name, URL contentURL, DeploymentOption... options) implies copyContent == true?
As e.g. ExplodeDeployment would only be available for copyContent = true.
A DeploymentOption would be a simple enumeration like:
public enum DeploymentOption
{
FailIfExists, ExplodeDeployment
}
On the DeploymentRepository side we would need to add a additional parameter to the addDeploymentContent like:
String addDeploymentContent(String name, InputStream contentIS, DeploymentOption... options)
I don't really like this, as the profileservice-spi should not really depend on the API from the DeploymentManager. Although it might be ok for 5.x and we'll review that for AS6 again?
