Yo!

Anyone here using JBoss 7? I've just started getting to grips with it, and 
my head is swimming. I'd be interested to hear about anyone's experiences 
with it.

So far, the good: it starts up really, really fast. 1.7 seconds for an 
empty container. I know the time to start an empty container doesn't mean 
much, but that's certainly a lot faster than any previous version could do 
it! Also, the way modules are now loaded on demand, so that i don't have 
to worry about whether i need the 'default' or 'all' profiles, or about 
doing any slimming.

The bad: they appear to have got rid of the idea of servers (as in 
$JBOSS_HOME/server), which was something i have always leaned on very 
heavily. It's not clear to me how you're supposed to manage a system which 
has multiple completely independent applications which you'd like to be 
able to run as separate processes (as a typical dev box does). Running a 
standalone setup only appears to support one process per machine, and 
running a domain setup rather implies that the processes are part of a 
cohesive unit - you have to list them all in host.xml.

I really need to be able to take a project, build it into a WAR or EAR, 
and deploy it to the app server as its own process, all pretty much 
automatically. Needing to grub around in host.xml defeats that.

So far, i've written a shell script which is a replacement for 
standalone.sh which should let me do this, but i haven't used it seriously 
yet. I feel like i shouldn't be needing to replace out-of-the-box scripts 
to do this.
