Re: [wtp-dev] Server component

[Timothy Deboer <deboer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed,

The wst.server component is currently
focussed on "servers that you can develop and publish content to",
since those are the types of servers that we're mainly interested in. That
said, AFAIK it doesn't (and shouldn't) force the server to accept content
and should be a usable base for any kind of server. All publishing and
module related parts of the API should be optional or easy to provide null
implementations for.

Anywhere this isn't the case, you're
welcome to open defects and/or provide patches. If you have any other suggestions
or input on how to support both types of servers effectively, please feel
free to contact me offline and we can email or arrange a meeting.

Thanks,

Subject	[wtp-dev] Server component

Is the wst.server component intended for use for things
other than web and application servers? For example, database servers,
business intelligence servers, and so on. I took a look at it but the concept
of publishing and models seems pretty well entrenched in the API and user
interface. What I needed was something that could monitor server health,
remember connection passwords, start and stop servers, and provide a naming
service for other tools that need to connect to a server (so every tool
doesn't have to have its own define server command and server list).
