Hi folks,
I started to work last weekend and it was a lot harder than expected :)
1. Native Launchers
=====================================================
Native launchers for Mac OS are difficult nowadays due to the fact the Apple is
not longer shipping Java & build tools. My current tool chain is stuck to
Apple’s JDK 1.6
2. Jetty versus Tomcat
=====================================================
After some frustration with Jetty I kicked it out and replaces it with Tomcat
7.0.52
* Jetty is getting bigger and bigger with every major release (the same is true
for me) and the small memory foot print was my initial motivation to stick with
Jetty
* I had some strange class loader issues which is fine since I did strange
things but I feel more at home with Tomcat
* Adding GZIP compression requires tinkering with web.xml
3. Portable Wiki Setup
=====================================================
I tried to put all libraries to $CATALINA_HOME/lib and simulate multiple wikis
using a light-weight web archive - this is a bit dangerous but it worked for
2.9x.
It stopped workig with 2.10 due to
* class loader issued in PropertyReader
* class loader issues with page caching
3.1 Ad PropertyReader
——————————————————————————————
propertyStream = PropertyReader.class.getResourceAsStream(
CUSTOM_JSPWIKI_CONFIG );
tries to read the property file from the same class loader which fails if the
libs are placed on $CATALINA_HOME/lib whereas the following statement uses the
class loader of the deployed web app
propertyStream = context.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/classes" +
CUSTOM_JSPWIKI_CONFIG);
I prepare a patch for it
3.2 Ad Page Caching
——————————————————————————————
Found a similar issue here - due to my setup there is ONLY ONE cache and as
cache key the page name is used
I have the following options
* jspwiki.usePageCache=false is a work around
* use the context name or appId as additional key for the cache
The current state
* I can build a ready-to-use JSP Wiki using Tomcat using Maven & Ant plugin
* I setup two pre-configured wiki instances
* Eating my own dog food - migrate all my existing wiki to 2.10
Cheers,
Siegfried Goeschl
