How to programmatically call wildfly inside an application

[koldar]

Hello to all!

First of all thanks to everyone for the job you're doing here.

I'm doing a project right now using OSGi framework and I would like to add a bundle allowing to start a Wildfly application server, stop it, deploy an application and undeploy it. Basically I would like to create these 4 functions:

public void startWildflyServer();

public void stopWildflyServer();

public void deployApplication(App war);

public void undeployApplication(App war);

I've tried to search online for a simple method to programmatically call these method, but to no success. Sorry if I bother you with this silly question, but I really want to embed Wildfly inside this software! Reference to wildfly source code are highly appreciated: I looked at the source but, given its size, it would be great if someone could suggest me a class/ a method /something to analyze.

PS: some additional information. During my online search I found wildfly-swarm. It seems a really cool project, allowing you to create an uber wildfly jar. The problem is that it embeds also your business logic with it. I would love something similar to it, but that simply allows me to deploy/undeploy application.

Hope I could convey in the most clear way my question,

Thanks again

Can't you just use ProcessBuilder for these purposes?

It certainly is a possible solution. I preferred a more programmatic way to solve this issue. Is this the only available solution? Does that mean that wildfly was never conceived to work embedded with another application (like Jetty, for example)?

If you're telling me that there is no programmatic way to implement what I have in mind, it's fine. I simply asked if that was possble to begin with, or if I have to stick with calling external process in order to achieve my goal.
