Deploying a .ear in domain mode (vs standalone) using remoting-jmx

[guillo]

Hi,

In JBoss AS7,

From a client java program,

i'm using this: service:jmx:remoting-jmx://my_host_name:port to connect to either a standalone mode server or a domain mode server.

In standalone mode:

I can retreive the MBean jboss.as:deployment=myEar.ear, and then able to deploy, redeploy, undeploy or remove myEar.ear

This works great !

However,

In domain mode:

I have 3-4 ears deployed on this server, belonging to different server groups.

There is only a few MBeans (not interesting for deploying) availables, and mainly, no jboss.as:deployment=myEar.ear available, or any MBeans related to server-groups or cluster etc...

I'm thinking that there must be a xml configuration file (domain.xml,host.xml,....) somewhere to offer the wanted MBeans ?

Why standalone mode has the jboss.as:deployment MBean and not the domain mode ?

JBoss AS7 is installed on Linux 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64

Any idea ?

Hi,

     The whole concept of Domain mode is to have a centeralized controll over your whole domain.... Like deployment/Undeployment... etc. Everything should be achevable through Domain Controller  (Rather than contacting individual JBos Servers which are part of domain)

     In Domain mode we have a concept of "server-groups"   (which are based on some profiles like ha, full-ha, full, default...etc).    We Target applications to "server-groups"   (Not to individual servers in Domain mode).   So definitely you will not see any such MBean on Individual Server which you can use to deploy an application on a JBoss instance which is running as part of Domain mode.
