I wish ODE would clean up processes by default
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODE-773
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODE-773
             Project: ODE
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Deployment
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta2
         Environment: Running ODE as a war in Tomcat (tcserver), on Windows XP, 
Eclipse 3.5 (STS 2.3.0), Java 1.5.0_15-b04, jruby 1.4.0 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 
174)
            Reporter: David McLure


I am trying to figure out how best to clean-up old BPEL processes on the ODE 
server (ODE v2.0 Beta2).

Not having had much luck using either the instance data cleanup 
(http://ode.apache.org/user-guide.html#UserGuide-InstanceDataCleanup), or the 
hydration 
(http://ode.apache.org/user-guide.html#UserGuide-ControllingODEMemoryFootprint) 
features, I set about trying to debug ODE to see how to enable some of these 
features.

Warning: ramble alert!  After a crash course in Ruby (and settling on JRuby 
since Ruby sucks on Windows) I eventually managed to "successfully" build all 
25 ODE projects using jruby and import them into Eclipse for debugging.  I am 
now realizing however that the jsp files appear to be missing from the 
axis2-war project.  Assuming I can locate these missing jsp files, then 
properly configuring the axis2-war in order to be able to deploy and run in the 
eclipse debugger also seems to be fairly involved.  I am assuming that I may 
also be missing some axis2 config artifacts as well, since I currently need to 
manually create lib, conf, and repository folders in order to enable Axis2 
project facets for the axis2-war project to satisfy the Axis2 runtime location 
requirements.  There are also some build Java Build Path issues in the 
axis2-war project "Cannot nest output folder 
'ode-axis2-war/target/test/classes' inside 'ode-axis2-war/target/test'"  - to 
summarize, it turns out that debugging ODE is proving to be a little more 
involved than I first thought!  I may also need to enter Jiras around some of 
these problems - not sure at this point?

I am wondering - for those developing ODE, what sort of IDE are you using?  I 
picked the latest version of STS (SpringSource Tool Suite 3.2.0) thinking it 
might have the best starting point in terms of base Eclipse plugins and so on.

Anyway, now I have managed to become completely distracted from my original 
mission (i.e. to get process cleanup working).  I guess this entire adventure 
has left me wishing for a simple way to have BPEL processes clean up after 
themselves by default.

Thanks for developing this product (and for listening to this rant!  :-)
