Hi All,
Sorry its taken me so long to get this posted. I had a bunch of
travel related headaches thur and fri of last week...
I've adopted http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2326 as
the JIRA to track the first part of the problem (the datasource
deployment stuff) with the current trunk and deployment.
I've just attached a patch to the issue that makes a small change to
the CAR plugin to include RAR's in the dependencies that are copied
into the assembly repository. I am fairly sure this needs to be done
as the RAR's end up in the repository on 1.1 and the DatabaseInfo
class requires them to be there (albeit with a comment that says
EVIL!!! :). However there might be something going on there I'm not
aware of.
One quick note on this change. The RAR's do end up copied into the
CAR (without this change) but, the DatabaseInfo class is expecting
(at least) the Derby related RAR's to be directly in the repo. Take a
look here http://tinyurl.com/jynnh. the list of *RAR_NAME fields are
all used to load the RAR's directly from the repository (http://
tinyurl.com/kyhve getRAR static method on line 1036). As the comments
says this is rather hard coded. I've not had time to get brain cells
focused on the solution. Seems that we should be able to do some kind
of maven magic though to find the tranql/tranql-connector/rar instead
of hardcoding the path. But again I don't know the history so perhaps
there is a reason for the EVIL :)
So the patch attached to 2326 gets us almost there, but there is
still the issue with the IncompatiblClassChangeError coming up. I
posted a partial stack trace in the issue. Any pointers, thoughts or
other things that could help me track that one down are most welcome.
I have to bail for a couple of hours but will be back on line around
7:00MST for a bit.
Also David J, if you could take a look at the pom changes and make
sure they are in line with your recommendations. I could not find
another car to have system-database depended on that would bring in
the dependencies and system-database looked to be the most logical
place to add add a jar dependency. I added the jar's to the gbean-
deployer/pom.xml because the CNFExceptions were coming from classes
in this package and again no obvious CAR to add to the mix.
Thanks!

And it seems I have the magic incantation now :-) Going to see how
well I can cast it on the car plugin later today.

Bill, if you do not want to improve the existing car-maven-
plugin,
you will need to use the scope.
just like how I added classpathPrefix to be used to
control the prefix for manifest entries.
IMO, the classpath should be constructed dynamically using the
transitive dependencies of the modules, i.e for j2ee-system config
use
dependencies of the system module. The way it is now is very hard to
maintain. Every time a dependency is changed in the system module,
most
executable configurations must be updated manually. The current
way of
maintaining hard coded dependencies in the classPath element are only
marginally better than maintaining a large string of the original
implementaion. Adding prefix to these dependencies is trivial.

Then the m2 dependencies would only really be used to control build
order for cars.

Hi All,
i've been using the m2 build for several days now and I've
noticed
that while it works well there are several details that are
still
not nailed down. Particularly I've been hitting lots of
dependency
issues around deployment. So what I've started doing is slogging
through each of them one at a time, posting a jira and a patch.
It struck me that there are probably similar issues throughout
the
server WRT the m2 build.
I'm open to other methods (and would love to hear of a silver
bullet:) but seems to me that we need to basically hit
everything
in the console and tools and such and make sure it works so we
can
be sure the dependencies are correct. While I don't think I'll
be
able to hit 'everything' I'll try to poke on most of the console
and the CLI tools and make sure that it 'works'.
My plan of attack:
1 - provide patches for the stuff i know about now
(tranql/tranql-
connector is missing for example from the repository)
2 - finish getting deployment working from the console (data
sources, ejb-jar's, wars etc)
3 - poke on the rest of the console
4 - deploy daytrader
5 - anything else anyone comes up with
I will be posting bunches of jira's and fixes over the next few
days as I work through this stuff (unless someone has a better
idea
about how to tackle it).
This is great that you are taking a look at this. Here are some
tips
that may help fix dependency problems:
1. The modules use resources2/META-INF/geronimo-dependency.xml
files
to specify transitive dependencies. We could use a lot more of
these. You may find the best solution to a classpath problem is
adding one of these.
2. There are often several ways to get a jar into a classloader,
such
as
a) depending on a car, from a car
b) depending on a jar from a jar (using
geornimo-dependency.xml)
c) depending directly on the jar from a car
I'd say this is the order of preference
3) It is really important that the builder cars don't start any
runtime cars: if you violate this rule the packaging plugin is
likely
to stop working. You can have 2.a and enforce this rule by using
the
<scope> element in the dependency and setting it to
<scope>classes</
scope>. This means the dependency's classloader will be
constructed
and available for use but that no services from the car will be
started.
This might be helpful in adding dependency using 2.a -

This is in my experience somewhat nerve wracking and gruesome
work,
so I really appreciate your taking it on, and I'll do whatever I
can
to help you with it.
thanks
