This would make a lot more sense to build a JBOSS package to and use the package provider to deploy the software. It will also generally be faster. What exactly do you mean by "node config elements"? you can use any of the facts in the templates, and you can setup variables in the node descriptions to be used in templates. Instead of copying the default instance config each time you should make it a template, and then have each node facts or variables fill in the template when when the node is configured. > The class needs to be able to look at the expected instances and make > some server level config changes (like one line in a common config for > each instance). This may be the hardest part. Puppet does not really do one lin in-place changes well. You might look at Aegis (spelling?) Len for doing that, or you could see if the simple text edit defines will work for you from the wiki. > > Is this possible? It will take a bit of work.
