Hi,
There's now a maven goal in the main module called 'standalone'.
Thus, 'maven standalone' will produce an apacheds-standalone.zip, holding
- all required dependencies in a /lib dir.
- apacheds-server.sh and apacheds-server.bat scripts, which set up the
server using a default spring config. file (apacheds-server.xml). They
also create a logs dir, holding an apacheds.log file. They use memory
arg.s also - the min heapsize is 128M and the max is 256M.
- you can override the default spring default file by including an
argument after the call to apacheds-server
thus 'apacheds-server.sh foo.xml' would use the foo.xml Spring config. file.
Please note that the apacheds-server.bat file might need work. I dont
have time to access a Windows machine running subversion to test it, but
it looks okay. If someone is using Windows and feels like duplicating
what they see in apacheds-server.sh (or improving both), then please do
so. :) Please feel free to improve them, this is only a first step but
it seems to cover basic standalone needs.
Best of all, newcomers need only build the standalone and execute the
standalone script without having to think about configuring the server
or editing a Spring config. file.
Lastly, the log4j.properties file is now excluded from the typical jar
of ApacheDS, to prevent it from conflicting with parent applications in
an embedded situation. The standalone build includes a log4j.properties.
I think that's it. If anyone has any questions, feedback, or
suggestions, please let me know.
Cheers,
Nick
