Folks, there is BZ 107032, "RFE: Allow AS7 deployments to provide
version in the artifact name", and the related PR 26 for the changes
and discussion. This has to do with potential changes in the AS7
plugin's Deployment discovery. In short, it would allow for the
same logical deployment (EAR, WAR...) to be discovered as different
versions of the same resource, based on versioning in the artifact
name.
For example, myapp-1.0.war and myapp-2.0.war would result in two
versions of the same resource, myapp.war. Currently this would
result in two resources, and likely the 1.0 variant would actually
have been removed, leaving its resource "dead" and needing to be
uninventoried.
This would prevent inventory from getting littered with missing/dead
resources when the user's approach is to generate and deploy
artifacts versioned in this way.
If interested in this topic please take a look at the BZ and/or PR
comments, and feel free to add your opinions here or there. Thanks.
