JBoss CLI Javascript

[fcorneli]

Been playing around with Javascripting the JBoss CLI to have a simple tool for conditional undeploy/deploy/updating of my EARs.

Took me some time to figure out the details, so this might be interesting to some of you:

Looks cool!

Btw, any reason why you went with rhino and not nashorn.

or utilize javax.script which comes with JDK6+

you get some nice tools ootb with never jdks, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jf14-nashorn-2126515.html

but in general i like the idea.

Hi Tomaz,

I stick with Rhino for the moment as this is out-of-the-box available on our CentOS 6/7 servers and via org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main you can easily invoke your js without any need to compile some Java "invoker" yourself.

Once Java 8 is the default, I'll certainly give jjs a shot.

Weird that you don't find more of such devops tools for JBoss.

For monitoring for example, I also had to patch collectd myself:

curl_json: Digest authentication support · Issue #328 · collectd/collectd · GitHub

Isn't there any wiki or so listing such JBoss AS/EAP oriented devops tools?

Kind Regards,
Frank.
