Using smart-frog to automate management of JBoss

Hi,

I am new to the list and SmartFrog. I would like to find out if anyone has 
used SmartFrog to automate deployments and configuration management of 
JBoss servers.  Our company in increasingly using them for hosting of 
large volume Web applications. We reached the point when the automation of 
their administration is needed. 

I've  already read the documentation and was pleased with the capabilities 
of SmartFrog. Our concerns are related in great part to reliability, 
scalability and performance penalties (CPU mainly) caused by introduction 
of SmartFrog on a production host. It would be nice to hear expereinces 
from other users.

Since SmartFrog is a framework we would need to invest significant effort 
in building and testing the components required to support our 
requirements. I am curious if anyone has tried to build a GUI that would 
simplify the automation tasks. 

Thanks,

Dimitar Georgievski
