Hi, I am in the process of moving Carbon Configuration and Secure Vault from Carbon Kernel [7] <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-config> repository. Both these components will support OSGi mode as well as non-OSGi mode. Following are the reasons behind moving these into new repositories.
Reasons for moving carbon configuration to a new repo: - The package is intended to provide configuration support for both OSGi and non-OSGi components and is to be used by MSF4J (OSGI and standalone mode), DAS etc. Therefore "org.wso2.carbon.configuration" should be a separate independent module (not inheriting the carbon kernel's parent pom) - Having the package within carbon kernel could lead into problems as having to release carbon kernel each time a change is made to "org.wso2.carbon.configuration" Reasons for moving carbon sec-vault to a new repo: - Carbon secure vault is to be used by the Carbon Kernal. However, the secure vault is provided via the carbon configuration module. Therefore we decided that it would be best if secure vault is released as a separate repository while carbon configuration module having a tight dependency to the secure vault (Since as for the above point, we have to make "org.wso2.carbon.configuration" a separate repository) - If we merge secure vault configuration with deployement.yaml and if there are cipher texts in deployment YAML, secure vault component has to depend on config component because secure vault configs reside in deployment YAML and config component has to depend on secure vault since we need to unciper the cipperd values in deployment YAML, that leads to cyclic dependency. According to the new structure, Carbon configuration will be in repo [5] <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-config> and Carbon Secure Vault will be in repo [6] <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-secvault>. This change will not have any major impact on any of the current implementations. The only change you have to make is to use the new maven dependencies and import any class used from the right package. New maven dependency information would be as follows for the components: *Carbon configuration* <dependency> <groupId>org.wso2.carbon</groupId> <artifactId>org.wso2.carbon.configuration</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> *Carbon Secure Vault* <dependency> <groupId>org.wso2.carbon</groupId> <artifactId>org.wso2.carbon.securevault</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> Both Carbon configuration and Carbon Secure Vault will have carbon features implemented that will be installed in the Carbon Kernel. New maven dependency information for the features of the above will be as follows: *Carbon configuration Feature* <dependency> <groupId>org.wso2.carbon</groupId> <artifactId>org.wso2.carbon.configuration.feature</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> *Carbon Secure Vault Feature* <dependency> <groupId>org.wso2.carbon</groupId> <artifactId>org.wso2.carbon.securevault.feature</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> Furthermore, maven configuration plugin [4] will be also moved to the Carbon Config [5] <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-config> repo. Carbon configuration maven plugin dependency information would be as mentioned below: <dependency> <groupId>org.wso2.carbon</groupId> <artifactId>org.wso2.carbon.configuration.maven.plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> [1] Carbon Kernel Issue <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-kernel/issues/1312> [2] Carbon Sec-Vault Issue <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-secvault/issues/2> [3] Carbon Config Issue <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-config/issues/1> [4] [Architecture] Carbon C5 - Server Configuration Model [5] Carbon configuration repo <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-config> [6] Carbon Secvault Repo <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-secvault> [7] Carbon Kernel Repo <https://github.com/wso2/carbon-kernel> Best Regards, *Vidura Nanayakkara* Software Engineer Email : vidu...@wso2.com Mobile : +94 (0) 717 919277 Web : http://wso2.com Blog : https://medium.com/@viduran <http://wso2.com/> Twitter : http://twitter.com/viduranana LinkedIn : https://lk.linkedin.com/in/vidura-nanayakkara <http://wso2.com/>
