right, I don't think we should make anything special for list-
applications

in this particular case, I think this is a bug in the implementation
of list-applications, it should now use the config-api to get the list
of applications rather than the internal runtime structures we use at
run time. This was the only solution at the time the command was
written but since Hong added the domain.xml writing last week, I think
it's time to switch it to use the config-api which will give the
correct information all the time. Jane, can you take care of that ?

Now, this debate still has some values.... It is somehow difficult for
a script to know when the server has finished starting. . We could
block all asadmin requests until all deployed applications have
finished loading but that seems like a hammer solution, and even then
you still need to issue a command to figure out the server is fully
loaded (and which one, asadmin version ????).

no, worse case we would have to add an explicit command to wait for
server starting sequence completion.

It seems that it could be useful to have a blocking command like :
        asadmin wait-startup-completed
that would block until the server is fully started and all deployed
and enabled applications are now capable of answering requests. I
don't think we have that today...

what do people feel ?
