Hi everybody,
We're prototyping OpenEJB as an embedded container to support the portion of
our unit-testing which needs EJB functionality. So far it seems a good clean
component, working well for us. Nice quality of code under the covers, too.
In particular one feature we like is the ability to configure OpenEJB
dynamically (Datasources etc) via the properties. Since we have datasource
config varying between developer environments, and another primary place
already exists for configuration, it's nice not to need configuration
duplicated (and developers to have to change it manually) to support the
OpenEJB modality of running unit-tests.
We use embedded container startup & restriction of which classpath roots to
scan:
- properties.setProperty("openejb.deployments.classpath.include",
"(.*moduleWithEjbs/target/classes/)");
- EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(properties);
We also use property-driven configuration: eg.
- properties.setProperty( "TransactionManager",
"new://TransactionManager/");
- properties.setProperty( "java:/MyDatasource",
"new://Resource/?type=java.sql.DataSource"+params);
Since these two capabilities benefitted us but the areas not so well
documented, I'd like to ask about potentially contributing a little
documentation in the area 1) of how to startup an embedded OpenEJB container
and 2) property-based configuration.
There's also 3) the rather outstanding issue of the empty 'Documentation' page
on the "new" TomEE site. Does anybody have a list of what of the old doco is
still valid/ and what's outdated? If a quick usable TOC could be put up, that
would be far better than having just an empty page; and would enable
'Documentation' to be added to the site navbar (hard to find currently).
I won't have a lot of time, but if there's some improvement that can be
achieved in a few hours I'd like to consider it.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Thomas
