I work with two JBoss instances: JBoss AS 4.0.3RC1 and JBoss Portal 2.0.1RC1 (bundled with JBoss AS 4.0.2). I defined the former in the Servers view. When I tried to register the latter, the following error message poped up: Instance jboss-deployer:localhost:8080#default already registered From a user's perspective it's a drawback because I didn't mean to use them at the same time. I'd rather make it a warning rather than a failure and let the user decide to proceed or not. (unless I'm mistaken, the change would require that a deployer identifier would be enhanced with the name or the path of a JBoss instance) NetBeans version: netbeans-5_0-daily-bin-200509072000-7_Sep_2005_2000
This is a known problem of JSR 88. It uses "URL" as an identifier of the server. This "URL" is actually typed as java.lang.String and is nowhere in JSR 88 (and in netbeans) actually used as a URL, but it missleads developers to really use URL as a identifier. Tomcat plugin and Sun app server plugin both put server install path into the "URL" which makes a much better identifier. It should be done for jboss too (and probably for WL9 as well). Backward compatibility of settings from beta2 to release is probably not that important so it should be relatively easy to fix.
