Encouraged by your kind words of appreciation for the Testsuite framework, I put together a similar Samples Framework.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/geronimo/samples/ UseCase Scenario 1 ------------------------------- Actor: Geronimo user, JEE5 Developer. Requirements: * Actor wants to learn the new features of JEE5 by looking at sample code * He wants to play with sample code. * He wants to learn how to develop applications on Geronimo. * He may want to use the sample code as a template for his own application. Flow A (install downloaded sample binary) * Actor downloads a Geronimo server binary and unpacks it. * He then downloads a sample binary. * He starts Geronimo server. * He then deploys the sample artifact into running server. * He goes to the sample app's home page (context-root). Flow B: (build sample source and install) * Actor downloads a sample source package. * He installs Maven if he doesn't have it already. * He builds the sample project using maven. * Sample project automatically downloads the latest Geronimo server, starts it, and deploys the newly built sample. * It fires up a browser and brings up the sample home page (not implemented yet). See the following links in Firefox only ! Here is a page that gives a user instructions on working with samples. Every sample download will also have a customized & relevant page like this, say as a README.html http://people.apache.org/~prasad/samples/index.html Here is a sample sample page. Notice the javadoc and source tabs in the top right corner of the page. http://people.apache.org/~prasad/samples/sample.html UseCase Scenario 2 ------------------------------- Actor: Geronimo Developer, JEE5 Spec Implementor Interactions: Document Writer. Requirements: * Actor wants to create sample projects quickly without having to deal too much with Maven. Flow: * Actor executes a sample-archetype-plugin. * It creates a mvn project which will act as a template. * He only has to write JEE5 code for the sample application. * He then works with Document Writer to write the sample document. Cheers Prasad.
