What's in v3 today for deployment (comparing to v2 equivalent features)

Directory deployment of web module on PE with web.xml parsed by web container.

Deployment related tasks (ordered by priority):

DPL1. Adding DOL support to web module. Right now the web.xml is parsed by web container.

• a. Splitting the DOL
• b. Add DOL support for web

DPL2. Add deployment support for standalone web module with JPA. (Sahoo?)
DPL3. Support archive deployment for web module. Implement the Web Deployer prepare method (expanding archive etc).
DPL4. Add support for embedded web module.

• a. Application level sniffer (ApplicationArchivist) and delegate to sub-module sniffer.
• b. AppDeployer (it would delegate to sub-deployers).

DPL5. Support various deployment mechanisms for web module (admin-cli, gui, autodeploy, JSR88), fit in DeploymentFacility
DPL6. Add support for other type of JavaEE modules. Right now there is only web. We need to add ejb, connector, appclient and embedded others.

• a. various sniffers
• b. container set up
• c. additional DOL support

DPL7. Examine directory-managed application mechanism for PE (also think about MBean managed for EE)
DPL8. Add support for cluster.
DPL9. Add generic support for extension module (it's already there for phobos/rubys?).

Other tasks:

MISC1. System applications (dependencies/order).
