Eliminate individual sample references from Geronimo Welcome Page
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-4208
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4208
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Affects Versions: 2.1.2, 2.2
Reporter: Joe Bohn
Assignee: Joe Bohn
Fix For: 2.1.2, 2.2
Currently there is an issue with the specific samples listed in the Geronimo
Welcome Page. The 3 samples are the Servlet Examples, JSP Examples, and the
LDAP demo. In addition to this there is a link to the wiki pages describing
the complete set of samples. These samples present several problems and
therefore should be removed for the following reasons:
1) There is always a period of time when the links to install the samples will
not work because the samples themselves are not yet released. It is necessary
that the samples are released after the server release.
2) The LDAP demo requires a directory implementation either install in Geronimo
or external to Geronimo. In the past this was not an issue because directory
was embedded in the Geronimo server. However, that has since been removed and
is delivered as an independent plugin.
3) It is implied that the samples are readily available with the server image
by having them directly referenced on the welcome page. However, the samples
are not included in the server image. Therefore, even if the samples are
already published they still require network connectivity to download and
install.
Rather than include these specific samples with links we will instead just
include the link to the wiki pages with direction for installing and working
with the samples.
This was discussed on the Geronimo dev list:
