RHQ 1.0 has a working implementation of this, however I'm not sure it's ideal. There are some areas I'd like to refine: - Updating the package for a package-backed resource - Relationship between resource creation and package deployment (with respect to auditing as came up in RHQ-490)
jay, when would you like to review this?
Future.
This bug was previously known as http://jira.rhq-project.org/browse/RHQ-504 This bug incorporates RHQ-490
Actually we can currently deploy ear/war resources on AS level and re-deploy newer versions of the ear/war there too. This is not possible for other types of resources, that need to go through the content subsystem.
