J2 Autodeploy Decorators

[Randy Watler]

Last night David committed a patch from me that enables deployment of 
layout, portlet, and generic decorators. Deploy, undeploy, and redeploy 
are all supported, (note that redeploy is essentially an undeploy 
followed by a deploy). The inclusion of multiple locale specific 
decorator content is supported by the decorator deployer.

A deployable decorator must have the following properties set or 
defaulted in the decorator.properties configuration:

id=xxx
media.type=(html|...)
decorates=(layout|portlet|any)
To avoid conflicts with the locale logic and runtime locators, 
decorators should be named with ids longer than 2 characters in length. 
The media.type property defaults to 'html'. The 'any' value for the 
decorates property is mapped to the generic deployment directory.

Here is a table listing of an example jar archive file that deploys with 
locale specific content:

The decorator.properties file must be located in the root directory of 
the jar archive and contain the properties outlined above to be 
identified as a decorator by the autodeployment system. The deployer 
will relocate the locale specific content to satisfy J2 content locators 
as necessary on deploy and undeploy. The current implementation supports 
only 2 character language and country codes.
