Factorize all Web Container resources in a single Servlet that uses Extension
point
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: NXP-7083
URL: https://jira.nuxeo.com/browse/NXP-7083
Project: Nuxeo Enterprise Platform
Issue Type: User story
Reporter: Thierry Delprat
Fix For: 5.4.3
Nuxeo Web Layer is currently built using Servlets, Filters and Listeners.
Because JEE descriptors are monobloc, we had to introduce deployment fragments
and pre-processing so that we generate at startup the web.xml, faces-config.xml
...
This solution works so far, but has some limitations :
- in pure OSGi we can not use this because only servlets are supported
- the deployment system has to be adapted to the target deployment (and
currently ECR and Nuxeo use different solutions)
- the web.xml is hudge and we have a lot of fragments, but no tool to have a
simple global vision of what filters are applicable to a given urls
- web.xml bindings are limited because there is no clean support for regexp
So the idea would be to extend what has been done in ECR :
- have one big servlet
- that supports extensions points to bind filters, listeners and servlets
- contains all the routing / activation code
Having this would make pure OSGi deployment of the web layer easier and would
also make JEE deployment simplier and easier to port to additionnal deployment
targets.
