Tobias Bocanegra updated JCR-697:
---------------------------------
Component/s: (was: core)
webapp
> .war distribution should be configurable, prompting you to setup JNDI with
> the Repository Home and Config locations.

> Key: JCR-697
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-697
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: webapp
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Reporter: David Boden
> Assigned To: Tobias Bocanegra
>
> The Embedded Deployment Model documentation
> (http://jackrabbit.apache.org/doc/deploy/howto-model1.html) on the jackrabbit
> page describes how to package up a .war file so that you can use JNDI
> Resource settings to change the location of the repository home and the
> repository configuration xml file.
> Unfortunately, the .war file that is provided as part of the Jackrabbit
> distribution doesn't behave like this. Instead, it has an inbuilt
> repository.xml file and settings in web.xml that act as defaults. These
> defaults are not useful and force a user to act like a developer and modify
> the files within the .war file.
> The current situation is that we have a .war that's not going to be useful to
> anyone without modification. The repository.xml file that is contained within
> the .war makes the repository home to be the Tomcat/bin/repository directory.
> This is not a useful default. It's better to have no default setup and a
> clear error message that JNDI needs to be setup. It would be even better if
> the web application could recognise when the JNDI wasn't configured and could
> prompt the user with an instructional webpage, describing how to setup the
> required JNDI settings on Tomcat, JBoss etc.
> ----
> The .war distribution for Jackrabbit ignores the JNDI settings that are
> described in the documentation. I am using this Tomcat config.xml snippet to
> configure Tomcat 5.5:
> {{{
> <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
> <Context displayName="Ark" docBase="c:\dev\ark\jackrabbit-server-1.1.1.war"
> path="/ark"
> useNaming="false" workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\ark"
> unpackWAR="false">
> <Resource name="jcr/repository"
> auth="Container"
> type="javax.jcr.Repository"
> factory="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.BindableRepositoryFactory"
> configFilePath="c:/dev/ark/src/main/resources/repository.xml"
> repHomeDir="c:/jackrabbitrepo"/>
> </Context>
> }}}
> Jackrabbit loads fine. However, the logs show:
> {{{
> 02.01.2007 10:33:00 *INFO * RepositoryStartupServlet:
> RepositoryStartupServlet initializing... (RepositoryStartupServlet.java, line
> 190)
> 02.01.2007 10:33:00 *INFO * RepositoryStartupServlet: repository-home =
> C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
> 5.5\bin\jackrabbit\repository (RepositoryStartupServlet.java, line 242)
> ...
> ...
> 02.01.2007 10:33:00 *INFO * LocalFileSystem: LocalFileSystem initialized at
> path C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
> 5.5\bin\jackrabbit\repository\repository (LocalFileSystem.java, line 166)
> }}}
> ----
> My use case is that I want to use Jackrabbit to host a Maven 2 repository
> within my company. So, ideally I want to:
> * Download the Jackrabbit .war file and mount it on my Tomcat server as
> context "/maven2".
> * Configure Tomcat to use LDAP authentication and point it at my company's
> LDAP server. This is a standard J2EE feature, of course.
> * Create my own repository.xml file which points to my AccessManager
> implementation (which goes to my company's SingleSignOn service for
> authorization). My AccessManager implementation will be placed on the Tomcat
> shared classpath.
> * Set the repository home directory, where all the working files will be
> placed and the location of the repository.xml file. Ideally, this would be
> done in JNDI.
> If I have to put together my own Jackrabbit .war file, I consider that I have
> my "developer" hat on when I only really want to have my "Jackrabbit user"
> hat on.
