Slimming JBoss for Seam

I've created a little linux bash-script that tries to auto-slim a JBoss server configuration.

Tested only with JBoss 4.2.3.GA and Seam 2.1.0.SP1.

How to use it: 1. Enter your jboss home dir in the script header 2. Run it and answer questions. 3. It will create a 'slim' configuration

Please adapt this script with more questions/features, but make sure you don't break standard Seam applications. Also, it would be nice to add security-related-slimming-questions.

Some references: JBoss 4 slimming JBoss security JBoss 3and4 slimming

(Sorry, this Knowledge Base doesn't seem to support attachments, putting the script inline)

# Auto-slims a JBoss configuration, to turn a default config
