Use Cases

Use cases provided here are project-level use cases intended to capture requirements at a very high level. Individual project plans for JBI functional areas (e.g. AddOn, web console, management, etc.) impacted by these use cases should address them in greater detail. For example, the 'Administer DAS target' use case should be broken down into the individual administration use cases (life cycle, deployment, installation, etc.) and discussed in detail.

#	Description	Comments	Impacts
1	Install JBI AddOn (domain)	Need to iron out the process by which an administrator elects to install the JBI AddOn. Is it included by default, selected as an option during installation, or a manual post-installation step?	Glassfish, AddOn
2	Install JBI AddOn (Node Agent)	If the JBI AddOn is installed in the domain, we need a way to make sure that node agents participating in that domain also include the AddOn	Glassfish, AddOn
3	Create a Glassfish/JBI stand-alone instance	The JBI framework lifecycle module should be added to the instance configuration.	Glassfish, Runtime
4	Create a Glassfish/JBI cluster	The JBI framework lifecycle module should be added to the cluster configuration.	Glassfish, Runtime
5	Add an instance to an empty cluster		Runtime
6	Add an instance to a populated cluster	The new instance must be provisioned with JBI artifacts that have been previously installed/deployed into the cluster.	Runtime
7	Remove an instance from a cluster		None
8	Administer DAS target	Install, deploy, and query commands are available on the DAS. Installing and deploying on the DAS is equivalent to adding the component/assembly to the repository.	Web console, CLI, Ant, Runtime
9	Administer stand-alone instance target	Install, deploy, life cycle, and query commands area available for stand-alone instances	Web console, CLI, Ant, Runtime
10	Administer a cluster target	Install, deploy, life cycle, and query commands area available for clusters. NOTE: cluster instances are not independently administrable. NOTE: Homogeneous topology may create opportunities for metadata collision amongst components and composite applications.	Web console, CLI, Ant, Runtime, components
11	Administer an off-line stand-alone instance	Impact should be isolated to JBI runtime; administration tools do not need to treat this as a special case.	Runtime
12	Administer an off-line cluster	Impact should be isolated to JBI runtime; administration tools do not need to treat this as a special case. Off-line administration of a cluster is permitted if some or all of its instances are down.	Runtime
