Hi all,
I went ot install the James Email server today. It is built on top
of Phoenix and seems to work great.
The problem is that I am running on Windows and with their default
install, the Wrapper is not included.
This means that James can not be installed a service.
I was trying to think of how we could make it easier for other
projects to build Phoenix applications
which included the Wrapper by default. The Wrapper is not 100% Java,
so it would require platform
specific distributions.
What are your thoughts about modifying the build to produce platform
specific distributions,
enabling users to get their hands on a Wrapper enabled full release of
Phoenix without having to
do any builds themselves.
I was thinking of creating the following distribution files, in
addition to the current src files.:
phoenix-4.0a4-bin.zip (100% version)
phoenix-4.0a4-bin.tar.gz (100% version)
phoenix-4.0a4-win32-bin.zip (Wrapper enabled)
phoenix-4.0a4-linux-bin.tar.gz (Wrapper enabled)
phoenix-4.0a4-solaris-bin.tar.gz (Wrapper enabled)
The wrapper enabled versions would have to be built from the
appropriate platforms.
I would also like to change the way the Wrapper is installed in the
Phoenix distribution by
moving its files into the standard location as well as adding the
appropriate startup scripts.
The wrapper enabled releases would replace the run.bat/sh scripts with
Wrapper enabled
scripts.
Current:
dist/bin/Wrapper.exe (Win32)
dist/bin/Wrapper.dll (Win32)
dist/bin/wrapper (Linux/Solaris)
dist/bin/libwrapper.so (Linux/Solaris)
dist/bin/wrapper.jar
New:
dist/bin/Wrapper.exe (Win32)
dist/bin/Phoenix.bat (Win32)
dist/bin/InstallPhoenix-NT.bat (Win32)
dist/bin/UninstallPhoenix-NT.bat (Win32)
dist/bin/wrapper (Linux/Solaris)
dist/bin/phoenix.sh (Linux/Solaris)
dist/lib/Wrapper.dll (Win32)
dist/lib/libwrapper.so (Linux/Solaris)
dist/lib/wrapper.jar
Adding the scripts would make it much easier for users to get up and
runing.
Ideally, other projects, like James, could then use the appropriate
distributions to build
their own Wrapper enabled distributions.
Cheers,
Leif
