What's new in AG2.0

[Ashish Jain <as...@gmail.com>]

Hi!!

I am working on compilation of the new features in AG2.0.Can some one please
help me to get information on the major architectural changes in AG2.0,the
new features added into AG2.0.

Some of the new features which I have looked on is the property substitution
in AG2.0,the viewer portlet in AG,the enhanced Applications portlet in
AG,annotations in Deployment Plans .

But I lack my knowledge on the architectural changes in AG.Any link or any
document in this regard can be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings
Ashish

In the deployment system, we now have ModuleBuilderExtensions to  
(javaee) ModuleBuilders that greatly simplify dealing with "extension  
specs" such as jsp and jsf (to pick a couple examples I've dealt with  
recently)

In the security system, I've made it so all Subjects come from  
logging into a security realm.  Previously we were constructing  
subjects for defaults and run-as in a limited and ad-hoc way.  I'm  
working on simplifying the security system quite a bit including  
removing the remote login module capability.  It's only use was for  
openejb clients and this will be running over the openejb protocol  
very very soon.

In a minor structural change the way resource managers register with  
the transaction manager for recovery is now somewhat simpler and  
easier to follow.

I'm never sure what "architectural" means but these are what come to  
mind as possible related to architecture.
