Performance issue: Profile vs. AS

[mfurjel]

Hello,

if I need to deploy the same application twice

(for separate test and development setup):

Is it better to have two completely separated JBossAS installed

or to copy e.g. 'default' profile, configure another port for it and run?

Thank you for any info.

Kind regards,

Michal

I always prefer to have a separate system for testing. I do development on my dekstop, but do testing on a second system, usually a virtual machine.One reason for this is that the test system is set up to more closely reflect a production system.

Actually, the thing is we have one machine where we want

1. to make daily builds and testing

2. to have a separate setup for internet access

So I only wonder how to have one application deployed separately for those two cases.

As I have learnt today I can't have in my situation the same app deployed twice in one AS and profile

I would like to know (CPU and memory) what would be better solution considering original alternatives?

Thank you,

Michal

Regarding CPU and memory either option is the same - they both require that you run two copies of the JVM. Thus you have two java processes and two heaps. However, I think that having two separate, clearly marked, installations of JBoss AS would be best. Thought I would still use two system, the thought of using a production machine to do builds and testing really makes me nervous!
