JBoss EAP 6 and Domain Offline
I'm trying to decide whether to use offline or domain mode in our JBoss EAP 6 environments. We have multiple JBoss environments running on the same machine.
What are the pros and cons? For me, the domain model can be a neat way to manage environments, but is there a risk that changing one environment might affect others? They are in the same xml config file ...
Standalone will seem easier because the configuration files are completely separate. We may have test environments that are completely different from each other.
Does using standalone mode mean that each environment requires a separate jboss installation? Does this affect our licenses in any way? Thanks in advance!

Domain environment relevant to you if you are using administration tools: CLI, web console ... Because all management tasks must be done through the domain controller.
For example, you won't be able to deploy applications by copying to the deployment directory.
Domain mode is really useful if you have multiple JBoss instances on multiple servers and you want to manage them from a central location. This is even more useful if you have similar instances that you would manage in a server group. For example, for a cluster.
Standalone is best if you want to customize your instances using xml, or if you want to use the deployment directory.
