So maybe a generic copy command is too insecure, I agree. What we should do is think about exactly what files we think we are trying to deploy.
1. I believe that there is a need to deploy dependency jars into the system classpath. 2. I believe that there is also a desire to be able to deploy Spring Data Geode xml configuration files. 3. There is also an issue with attempting to deploy Spring Data Geode functions that we should try to work out. Anything else that anyone is aware of? -- Mike Stolz Principal Engineer, GemFire Product Manager Mobile: 631-835-4771 On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 10:59 AM, Jacob Barrett <jbarr...@pivotal.io> wrote: > Agree with Anthony.
