[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-223?page=comments#action_61528 ] Ate Douma commented on JS2-223: -------------------------------
Scott, I've looked at this issue and how this was handled before I committed the new deployment implementation. I'm a bit puzzled why we would need this feature. As far as I can see, the only effect this feature had (in the end) was a rename of the originally deployed war to a name as specified as portlet-app id. In all cases, the portlet application name and identifier are set equal so I also don't understand why we have these two fields instead of one. I find this a bit confusing feature, certainly for the end users. Why wouldn't you just use a war filename equal to the portlet app id? The only situation I can imagine you might want/need to supply a different name is with local (jetspeed- prefixed) portlet applications. But then we could provide other means to that end with for example a different deploy folder, different extension or whatever. Being able to use the filename of the supplied war as identifier makes it much easier (and lighter) to validate/check if a redeploy is in order, instead of having to extract the portlet.xml first to be sure what pa is actually deployed. I see no real problems for reimplementing this feature again but I wonder if we really need it. I don't mind doing it if I know why... > New deployment not using portlet app id for web app name > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JS2-223 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-223 > Project: Jetspeed 2 > Type: Bug > Components: Deployment > Versions: 2.0-M2 > Reporter: Scott T Weaver > Assignee: Ate Douma > > Deployment used to use the <portlet-app id> attribute to override the war > name when deploying portlet apps.
