Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-40:
---------------------------------------
The UI changes have been made, largely hand-tested, and merged into trunk.
Next steps for this ticket include:
- Updating the wiki page on how to build a connector
- Writing the classloader implementation that will actually allow for plugin
loading
> Classloader-based plug-in architecture would permit LCF to be prebuilt

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-40
> Project: Lucene Connector Framework
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Framework core
> Reporter: Karl Wright
>
> The LCF architecture at this point requires interaction with the build script
> in order to add connectors. This is because the connector JSPs and jars need
> to be added to the appropriate war files. However, there is another
> architectural option that would eliminate this need, which is to use a custom
> classloader to pull components from jars that are placed in a specific
> directory or directories.
> In order for this to work, however, the UI components of every connector must
> become part of a jar. That implies that they will need to cease being JSPs,
> and become instead methods of each connector class. (There is no
> proscription against using something like Velocity for assembling the
> necessary output for a connector, however.) Limiting the
> backwards-compatibility impact of this change will be difficult, especially
> after a first release is made, so it seems clear that any change along these
> lines should be attempted before version 1.0 is released.
