I have begun work to make the Adventure Buolder sample app run.
Hi Jakob,
Excellent! The team of people who are looking into deploying AB consists
of 3 members - you, Saraswathi and me. Is there anybody else? ;)
It would be much appreciated if AB could be successfully deployed before
Geronimo 1.0 is out.
The first step I'm trying to accomplish is to get as far as the
community has gotten - i.e. to reach the situation described by
Saraswathi in message
<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12717.html>
Well, to be honest, there was not much information on how to get thus
far. We kept getting emails from Saraswathi that the work is ongoing and
some success reported, but nothing more technical involved.
I have checked out the Geronimo sources and built the server. Using the
code in sandbox/adventurebuilder merged with the AB 1.0.1 application
from Sun as described on the Wiki page
<http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/AdventureBuilder>,
I think we should consider working with AB 1.0.3 instead. Since it's the
latest release of AB, I assume there're some bugs fixed, so we won't
have to spend ages to sort them out. See
http://adventurebuilder.dev.java.net. I'll update the wiki and dds if
necessary soon (probably later tonight).
the maven goals
distributed the application.
I was a little surprised to learn that the adventurebuilder fetches it's
own copy of the server (places it in
sandbox/adventurebuilder/target/geronimo-1.0-SNAPSHOT);
Why? I'm all ears to hear/read a better solution.
this server
seems a little defunct, for example I'm not able to make the
deployer.jar talk to it over JMX to list modules etc.
Take a look at maven.xml file. That's where you'll find out what modules
are deployed. It's worth to change it a little to add the missing
functionality you described.
* Question 1: Is there a safe way to make the deployment maven scripts
use an already installed server?
Hmm, what do you mean by "an already installed server"? Is it the one
built by assembly? If so, please note that adventure builder is supposed
to be deployed without the full source code checked out (although
there's a "feature" where it won't without the top-level etc directory).
I'm able to start the application and construct an adventure, but
checkout fails with the same url error as described in message
<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12456.html>
I haven't yet figured it out what's wrong. I guess it depends on other
modules to be deployed. So, the first step would be to deploy other
modules and give it a try again.
Saraswathi mentions (in [1]) that the URL issue has been resolved.
When I try to deploy the applications not deployed by the maven script,
I get an error involving CMP.
It seems reasonable that Geronimo needs some extra information to bind
the CMP beans in the application to the database schema.
Positive. I hope Saraswathi will publish the plans soon.
* Question 2: Does any deployment plans exist for the remaining
applications (activitysupplier, airlinesupplier, bank and opc).
If so, where do I find them?
They're not in the repository. They need to be build from scratch.
* Question 3: How was the URL issue resolved (if not by deploying the
remaining applications)
Hehe, I guess it *does* require the other modules to be deployed.
