Hi, Bill
Sorry for the late reply. For some reason, I missed this thread earlier.

Currently we delete the uploaded archive at the end of the deployment.
There were some previous discussions with Kedar on this, basically we
should be able to leave the archive alone during deployment and only
delete it when undeploying the application. And when we do the archive
uploading for the deployment, we could store the file at a designated
area instead of the temp directory so it's easier to retrieve the
archive for synchronization purpose. Do you have any
suggestion/preference as to where the uploaded archive should be stored?

Yes, that's the right place.

v3/common/internal-api/src/main/java/org/glassfish/internal/deployment/GenericHandler.expand
is how we expand the archive on server side. We could extract the logic
here and put it in a utility method and shared between server and client.

This should be pretty straightforward to write. I can take care of it.
When you say return a list of all the applications, did you want it to
return List<Application> where Application class is the Application
config bean class in admin/config-api directory?
