On WIndows, attempting to backspace at the beginning of a line causes the 
system bell to sound, thereby knocking many a user off their chair.  I would 
recommend disabling this for the sake of Windows users.  *nix systems and Mac 
OSX shells seem to disregard the system bell commands by default so disabling 
the system bell in the ConsoleReader by default shouldn't affect them adversely.

This is a simple patch to disable the bell globally by default.  An alternative 
would be to have a system prop so that someone could override this and enable 
it, although I am not sure why anyone would want to.

closer and you are right about the terminals, some just have audible bell 
switched off by default.  I'm fine with closing this as won't fix if you want 
to leave it as is.

Re: Running ServiceMix in an OSGi environment

 Hi!

 I would like to hear from you some advices on how start ServiceMix
 embedded inside an OSGi environment (in my case an Eclipse
 installation). I think I have at least two options:

 1. Bundle servicemix with all it's dependencies inside an OSGi bundle.
 Has anyone already done this?


This *might* work, but your OSGi bundle will be quite large to say the
least.  If you want to try this, I suggest trying the maven-bundle plugin
from the Apache Felix project since it will evaluate the transitive
dependencies in the Maven pom.xml and add the jars to the bundle
automatically.


 2. Use a distribution of servicemix that is already packaged as OSGi
 bundles. Is there something like this?


ServiceMix 4.0 will be just that, but I am not sure if it is in a state that
will be useful to you yet.

Chris



 My use case would be to start an embedded JBI container, deploy
 dynamically service units to already installed components (I am playing
 now with Saxon component) and send messages to installed endpoints.

 Any ideas?

 Thank you very much!

 Cristian

  This was exactly the road I started going down in order to solve a
  couple of problems:
 
  1) Distributing a consistent configuration across groups of nodes
  2) Providing for a central registry that is replicated to other
  directory server instances


What I am trying to get my head around, is if this configuration data can be
abstracted up to the OSGi level or if it is specific to ServiceMix?  I see
the specific requirement for this data within ServiceMix itself, but with
OSGi there is also the configuration admin service which is a standardized
way to provide data to instances of services.  I have been thinking about
implementing a distributed version of these kinds of OSGi services for a
long time so this could be another option.  If nothing else, we could
support a pluggable registry that could have different implementations
depending on the deployment scenario.  Just a thought.


  This would optionally require a master directory server with other
  backup or slave servers in order to replicate the registry data. The
  size of the network and the criticality of the data would determine if
  you need to run slave servers or not.
 
  The other thing I began thinking about was using the AMQ master/slave
  functionality and just embedding the directory server in the master
  and the slaves. This would mean less moving parts and we could make
  any LDAP replications take place via AMQ transports.

 Doesn't apacheds comes with a clustering / replication solution already ?


Yes, and I can look into modifying this to use ActiveMQ to do the
replication so that we can keep things consistent (current replication is
direct TCP with Mina on each node).  ApacheDS also allows replication
without exposing the actual LDAP server... so it can be embedded and expose
a direct JNDIContext without exposing a listener externally yet still
achieve replication, which is a common use case for embedded users.


   So your snippet would actually solve the heartbeat problem.  But I'm
   not sure we can send the whole data at each heartbeat.  I guess it
   depends how bit this data is, but if we have lots of services in the
   OSGi registry, it may not be very scalable.  So we would have to
   default to send only updates or find another mechanism to send the
   data (the heartbeat could just contain the url of our container, and
   the data would be retrieved by another mechanism).
 
  How about just sending the URL and a flag stating that there is an
  update? If one of the other servers wants the update, then they can
  poll that server's URL and a known topic for the actual data updates.

 Yeah. However, for performance reasons, it may be interesting to be
 able to only publish the delta in addition to provide an easy access
 to the whole data.


I think ApacheDS does this now, but I am sure that it could be optimized to
fit our needs if it doesn't already.

We could also expose the  registry as a REST interface, but it may not
 be the most efficient way.

I certainly think that ApacheDS could be of some use here, but I don't want
to be pushy or biased  ;-)  There will certainly be some customizations for
this use case, but ApacheDS is extensible via interceptors and other similar
means.  In addition, it might not be well known that ApacheDS is going to
start moving to an OSGi container based deployment as well, so that might be
useful too.  I think these discussions are great and will help expose the
requirements as we toss around these ideas and we can keep fine tuning the
solution.

Re: ServiceMix 4.0 modularity

  I agree that eventually you will have certain components that have their

  components mature and stabilize I think it will be a natural desire to
 have
  more frequent releases of the optional components.

 Agreed.

  The dependency management issues mentioned by Bruce and Kit are valid,
 but
  don't forget that the bundles are able to specify required version
  information for their own dependencies.  So the dependency management
 issue
  is more about shipping a properly working default configuration with the
  main ServiceMix distribution than about the seperate releases of
 components.

 That's a good point and something I forgot about. I guess we'll need
 to relax any static version requirements once the core stablizes so
 that we can allow a wider range of acceptable versions of various
 components.

  I like Guillaume's idea of offering a basic image that is capable of
  provisioning itself from a managed OBR repository.  This could also
 allow a
  user to configure their own customized provisioning configuration
 similar to
  kickstart files for Linux distributions.  I think you will also want to
  offer a fully loaded and self contained image that already has all of
 the
  components available, but the auto-provisioned basic image will be very
  useful for a lot of users I would think.

 I think this is a good paradigm as well. However, a question arose
 today about continuing to allow ServiceMix to be embedded in any old
 Java app. Some folks may want an OSGi container to be started when
 embedding ServiceMix, and some may not. All I'm saying is that we need
 to keep this in mind as a requirement because there are a fair amount
 of users who are embedding ServiceMix today.


I have had to think about this same issue with Apache Directory Server.
ApacheDS has many users that embed as well as many users of the standalone
server and this will be an issue for us as we move the server to an OSGi
container as well.  It may be different for ServiceMix, but for ApacheDS I
want to be able to offer the ability to embed without using OSGi or Spring
at all.

I haven't worked out all the details yet, but I am thinking about a
component that contains all of the OSGi specific code and manages the server
components which are just library bundles with OSGi Manifest headers so that
they can also be used as simple jar files outside of OSGi.  If you wanted to
embed, then the OSGi component is not used, and instead you could have a
facade that basically does what the standalone server does today (use Spring
to load app context and wire components), or just wire the components up
directly in the user's own code (ADS has people doing this as well).  So
this basically exposes 3 distinct use cases with progressively lower levels
of integration.  Now the trick is to accomplish this without introducing a
maintenance nightmare.  :-)

Thanks,
Chris

I think there are a couple of ways to achieve this.  Similar to SM-1071, this 
might be achieved with Configuration Admin but I don't think there is any way 
currently to have distributed configurations in the spec.  This is partly the 
reason for my idea to use ApacheDS as a centralized Configuration Admin system. 
 Even if you did this outside of OSGi, it might make sense to embed a small 
ApacheDS LDAP server somewhere and have your cluster nodes configure themselves 
from that data.  Just an idea...

 We need a way to implement a distributed NMR registry.  Endpoints registered 
 in the NMR should be available for other instances on the cluster.
 Or is this a purely distributed OSGi registry without being tied to 
 ServiceMix ?

Guillaume,

No problem...  I think you will be happy with this choice.

Also to clarify something important, I really encourage you to replace
commons-logging-1.x.jar with jcl14-over-slf4j which implements the
commons-logging interfaces and maps them to slf4j static binding.  This will
solve the problem with other projects like Spring that still use
commons-logging and provide consistency for your projects.

Cheers...

Re: ServiceMix 4.0

2007-08-27 Thread Chris Custine
I would highly recommend switching to slf4j for internal logging, and then
use the slf4j over jcl facade to permanently get rid of commons-logging.  If
you are going to use OSGi in the future, you will have trouble with the
dynamic classloading issue introduced by JCL.  The slf4j facade will
alleviate this because the linkage is static (based on which jar you choose
to use).

I blogged about this a while back here:
http://blog.organicelement.com/2006/12/21/commons-logging-classloader-woes

Also slf4j is fairly OSGi friendly in that it has OSGi manifest headers
already built in so you can deploy with OSGi and make the logging package
available to all bundles.

   Yes, SMX should switch to using the slf4j-api which will allow any

  how's that different from commons-logging (other than adding yet
  another dependency, since many things SMX depends on also depends on
  commons logging)

 There are a lot of reasons, including an extremely good writeup about
 JCL that Ceki did back in 2004 that is available here:

 http://www.qos.ch/logging/thinkAgain.jsp

 But the most important point of all is that the use of JCL is most
 oftentimes incorrect from an architecture standpoint. At least this is
 what the creator of JCL says:

 '...The purpose of Commons Logging is not to somehow take the logging
 world by storm. In fact, there are very limited circumstances in which
 Commons Logging is useful. If you're building a stand-alone
 application, don't use commons-logging. If you're building an
 application server, don't use commons-logging. If you're building a
 moderately large framework, don't use commons-logging. If however,
 like the Jakarta Commons project, you're building a tiny little
 component that you intend for other developers to embed in their
 applications and frameworks, and you believe that logging information
 might be useful to those clients, and you can't be sure what logging
 framework they're going to want to use, then commons-logging might be
 useful to you...'
