[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1471?page=all ]
David Jencks updated GERONIMO-1471:
-----------------------------------
Component: (was: connector)
this does not relate to j2ca connectors
> Connector dependencies
> ----------------------
>
> Key: GERONIMO-1471
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1471
> Project: Geronimo
> Type: Improvement
> Components: Clustering, Tomcat, web
> Environment: Deploying a web application in a cluster.
> Reporter: Greg Wilkins
> Assignee: Greg Wilkins
> Fix For: 1.1
>
> It is highly desirable that the HTTP connectors can be made dependent on the
> correct startup of one or more webapplications. This is to prevent a server
> with failed webapps to join a cluster, or for
> it a server to join a cluster before required webapplications are fully
> deployed.
> It should be possible to add GBean dependancies in the web container plans,
> however an opinion has been expressed that this is not flexible enough and
> would be difficult to configure and update.
> So a specific mechanism has been proposed.
> Issues to consider are:
> + How should the dependencies be expressed: specific webapp, all webapps,
> number of webapps?
> + Where should they be expressed? In the container plan, or perhaps as some
> form or required webapp flag in the geronimo-web.xml ?
> + If the dependencies are not meet, what state should the connector be in?
> Should it be
> just not be started, or should it start, but have internal state (eg
> open/closed) as this
> would allow a future conversation with advanced load balancers.
> + Should the server port be opened - but no requests accepted? This will
> reserver
> the port and verify that no other resource is using it while the webapps
> are started.
> Need to verify that this will not upset any load balancers.
