Server-side commands

[ansur]

A feature I'm looking into is to retrieve some deployment information from within one of my deployed libraries.

What I was thinking is to use the commands as used by JBoss CLI. E.g. execute /deployment=*/:read-resource and interpret the results.

From the JBoss CLI sources it's easy enough to see how the client-side works, but since I want to use this server side I want to skip that whole step.

What's the best entry point in that case?

If you are using JSF or you don't mind adding a JSF Facelet to your WAR, you can use the cli-resolver.  This is a project that is in its early stages, but it works quite well and I have a demo that does lots of things with deployments.  It sounds like the kind of thing you are looking for.

Resolver: https://github.com/ssilvert/cli-resolver

If you don't want to use JSF then you can look at the cli-resolver code and see how it uses CLI to execute commands on the server side.  The resolver itself is only three classes.

I would be using it from within an EAR, but looking at the code it gives me exactly what I need. Thanks!
