Hello,

I'm migrating a complete application from Glassfish to Jboss.
I have the similar notion of server & nodes (agent) in the both product.
The scope of JON is larger than Glassfish thanks to its database referential usage. (Larger in term of functionalities and capabilities - each operation is timestamped).
The Glassfish referential is only a big domain.xml file.

On the counter part, i have notice a key differentiator in favor of Glassfish : the deployement .
I explain :
- Resources can be provisionned in the repository outside any J2EE instance (No link with any existing AS)
then later deployed to a cluster (and so all the depending instances)
- A set of configuration (JVM Options, path settings, Security Realm, JMS service ..) can be created and then bound to a cluster at the creation stage.
- As soon as the node is starded, No operation is done on the host runing the agent - All the operation can be done in the adminstration GUI.


I still have a weak knowledge on JON so i don't see these deployement capabilities :
- We can see/monitor/manage resources of a JBOSSAS running instance - but how to clone (copy) a set of resource to another instance ?
- More important, can we add an instance on a cluster directly from JON ?

Does someone has answer to these questions ? It would be very nice

Regards,
Olivier
