-------------------------------
Summary: Create Skinny Dependencies for WARs
Key: OODT-910
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-910
Project: OODT
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Tom Barber
Currently the OPSUI war files are huge because the drag in all of the OODT
component transient dependencies which to the best of my knowledge are
generally not required as the UI just sends commands to remote services.
To combat this we should create some skinny components that dont' include all
the transient dependencies.
The "easy" but not very maintainable way would probably be to "exclude" a big
list of transient dependencies in the pom files for the components you want to
slim down.
An alternative approach which I would favour, would be to create an API module,
similar to OSGI design practices, that contain the various API interfaces for
the component, say the filemanager. Then OPSUI can implement its required
interfaces separately from the filemanager, which can also implement the
interfaces if required on its side.
I'm sure there are alternatives, just dictating my thoughts.
