[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-4795) Multiple Server Instances: Uninstalling an application does not remove the entry from config.xml of other server instances

["David Jencks (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4795?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12743261#action_12743261 ] 

David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-4795:
----------------------------------------

I don't think we should try to fix this.  IMO the proper use of servers is to construct them with the plugins you want, and possibly add more plugins.  However removing plugins is not generally the reverse of adding them.  For instance we don't try to delete data files installed when the plugin was unpacked, remove config.xml entries, config-substitutions.properties, or artifact aliases.  Trying to change this will introduce near infinite complexity for no good reason.  Just dont' uninstall apps, assemble a new server instead.

In particular, I think  that altering the behavior for mulitple server instances here would require some kind of registry of all the servers running off of a particular geronimo repository.  I don't think there's any need for this.  I'm not aware of any compelling uses for multiple server instances so I'm very much against introducing more complexity to make a small aspect of uninstalling plugins slightly less problematical.

> 1)  Setup another geronimo instance out of the same installation directory.
> 2) Deploy an applicaton to one instance. This will result in entry being created in config.xml for both the instances
> 3) Undeploy the application. This results in entry being removed from config.xml of one instance and other instance 
> still has entry of the application in config.xml.
