There have been several previous conversations regarding the
structure of the geronimo/applications directory. It seems that there
should be some way to differentiate the various categories of
applications?
Perhaps something like:
geronimo/applications/samples/ would contain:
-demo
-servlets-examples
-jsp-examples
-magicGball
-dayTrader
-bigPetEJBSess
-petStore
Which directory do you mean?
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk/applications/samples
or
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/applications/samples
I would prefer that the samples be outside located off of the geronimo
svn root and not in trunk. This will allow them to be developed and
released independently of the mail line server.
A few points/questions..
I suspect we will want to pull a few of the samples (servlets-examples,
jsp-examples, ejb-examples) into the generated G images (definitely into
the installer as selectable options and arguably into the zipped binary
images). This means that the main G tree will have dependencies on
things that are now outside of main trunk (geronimo/trunk). Will the
restructure somehow address getting them pulled into the main G
distributions? Does this imply that developers need to also download
the samples source when doing a build of the main trunk? Or is the
assumption that full builds require the full geronimo root checkout?
Perhaps we move a few select select samples (servlets-examples,
jsp-examples, ejb-examples)into the main trunk and leave the others
outside.
In a separate thread you suggested versioning the samples.. Are you
suggesting versioning the individual samples? Or are you saying that
the group of samples would be versioned as applicable to a specific G
release?
geronimo/applications/system would contain:
-console*
-jmxdebug
-uddi-server
-welcome
I was thinking more along the lines of
geronimo/trunk/applications/console-${part} --> geronimo/trunk/
console/${part}
geronimo/trunk/applications/welcome --> geronimo/trunk/ welcome
(not sure... is this the tomcat/jetty welcome app?)
geronimo/trunk/applications/uddi-server --> geronimo/applications/
uddi-server
geronimo/trunk/applications/jmxdebug --> geronimo/sandbox/
jmxdebug/trunk (I think this need more work or we should simply drop it)
Should we consider putting these applications under a common directory
(e.g. system) that groups them and signifies their strong ties to the G
system?
Also, the same point as above applies about the main tree build
dependency on the system applications. I see you included console and
welcome in the trunk. I suspect uddi-server and jmxdebug also belong in
trunk as they are likely part of the default binary distribution. I
did hear that the jmxdebug app is being reworked..
