Polling approach to achieve test callback functionality

[bosschaert]

I started experimenting with a polling approach as suggested by Aslak as a possible way to get around callback issues (like the one we have in AS7: see comment 14 here). The goal is to provide resources (in my case bundles) requested by the remote test on demand. This is something we use in the OSGi example and performance tests.

I have something that works using remote JMX in AS7. The code is on my jmxpoll branch on the jbosgi/arqullian fork here: https://github.com/jbosgi/arquillian/commit/ffd6e9b2c93561ded9ba88b5d369f6bc35eaf75a

I've only focused on the remote AS7 case. The embedded case isn't finished yet. I thought I'd get some feedback before finishing it off completely.

Thoughts anyone?

As mentioned earlier I think the ARQ events may possibly be implementable with JMX notifications for this protocoll

Yes - I have this working now using JMX notifications. It works much nicer that way - thanks for the suggestion!

Will post my branch as soon as I have it cleaned up a bit...

You can find my JMX events based code on the jmx_events branch here: https://github.com/jbosgi/arquillian/commit/8cfad54397622977e0c40ef1b951f299d795ea10

If we agree to go this route I can finish it off - haven't done the embedded case yet...
