Category: JBoss/System Group: v3.2 Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeremy Boynes (jboynes) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: HTTP URL scanning support Initial Comment: Support has been added for scanning HTTP locations using the WebDAV protocol. This allows locations to be scanned when the server has been netbooted from a web server in the same manner as local directories are scanned. This allows JBoss to be booted from an unmodified configuration located on a WebDAV capable server such as Tomcat 4.1.X, Apache 2.0 with mod_dav or even Microsoft IIS. Alternatively, a trival DAV server is supplied in docs/examples/netboot that allows JBoss to be booted from any J2EE WebContainer such as JBossWeb. DAV scanning is supported for the SARDeployer <classpath> element and for the URLDeploymentScanner <urls> element. The latter requires locations to be specified in accordance with RFC2518 - basically URLs will be scanned if they end with a '/' character and deployed if they do not. See the standard conf/jboss-service.xml for examples. With this change URLDeploymentScanner is now able to provide the functionality of URLDirectoryScanner and HttpURLDeploymentScanner and these mbeans should no longer be used. A current limitation is that locations to be scanned via HTTP/DAV must not contain unpacked archives (especially SAR or WAR archives). This limitation may be removed in the future. Also WAR archives should contain in their lib or classes directories all classes needed to compile JSP pages. Strictly, the javac compiler invoked during JSP compilation uses a classpath derived from ClassLoaders referencing the local filesystem; as a result dependencies on classes loaded over the network may result in "cannot resolve symbol" errors during JSP compilation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=381174&aid=660839&group_id=22866 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
