Re: RELEASE-NOTES-1.1

Guess the exception output could be enhanced to include:
 - the module that failed to load (in case you were using the silent 
output option which doesn't list the modules being loaded)
 - clear statement that the server will now be shutdown because of this 
error

 - hint of how to fix the problem, like editing config.xml

Instead of the current output of -

>Module 24/24 hello/1.1/war  Exception in thread 
"main" java.lang.AssertionError: Expected one match for pattern ".", but

got 0 matches
>at
>org.apache.geronimo.kernel.config.ConfigurationUtil.preprocessGBeanData(ConfigurationUtil.java:331)


I agree that you can't just automatically remove the offending 
application, but maybe a configuration option to "continue on error" 
would be useful while you are developing your app, so you can then 
undeploy or redeploy the offending app...

means that instead of copying your files into the server directory at

Won't be an issue.  For apps running resources directly from the  
workspace/project, these apps will be deployed to a separate config-

Good point!  I shutdown the server and renamed the hello directory.  Then
start the server afterwards.  I saw the following exception when server
attempted to start the hello module.  I didn't see Geronimo server started
at the end but luckily all the important module seemed to be started before
my little hello module, which is the last in var\config\config.xml file.

I guess this error can be improved in the future releases, but for 1.1 user
needs to be good aware of what inPlace means before they use it for 1.1.

I hope this is less of a problem for scenario #2, as I am not aware of the
in-place option to deploy a project in Eclipse/WTP but Sachin can certainly
correct me as I haven't tried the 1.1 version of the Eclipse plugins yet.

Re: RELEASE-NOTES-1.1

2006-06-08 Thread Aaron Mulder

I'd like to second Erin's comment about the "Deploying Applications"
section.  The following command will not work, I promise.

/bin/java -jar deployer.jar help [command]

I also agree that Java 5 compatibility should be emphasized -- perhaps
"Geronimo is certified on Sun's JDK 1.4.2, but aside from the CORBA
features, it should run well on any 1.4.2 or 1.5 JVM."

I also think it's worth mentioning the "login" command in the
Deploying applications section.

In the significant changes section:
- We should add plugins.  "Geronimo applications, server features,
and integrated products can be distributed as Geronimo plugins.
Plugins are easy to install, automatically download any dependencies,
and do not require server restarts."  Perhaps a separate point for
server cloning.  "Using the plugin infrastructure, applications or
modules can be copied from one Geronimo installation to another (from
developer to developer, test to production, etc.)."

- For the console point, let's add "JMS resource configuration"

- The hot deploy exclusion for the repository is not correct.  Hot
deployed files are copied into the repository like anything else.

- For the Little G point, the grammar is wrong.  "Little-G, a
minimal, small footprint, Tomcat and Jetty configurations are
available."

- We should add a point about in-place deployment.  "Geronimo
supports in-place deployment, which means an archive or directory can
be deployed without being copied into the Geronimo directory tree."

In the overall project status, I think we need to list initial Java EE
5 support as a major goal of the next release.

In the Jira section, I think all the entries should be word-wrapped at
77 characters or so.

Thanks,
   Aaron

Looks good!  A few comments:

1) Under system requirements, I think it should mention that Geronimo
will run fine on Java 5 out of the box, and offer the caveats that it is
only J2EE-certified on 1.4 and that in particular, you will need to run
under 1.4 if you enable CORBA support.


Could you work on a line or two to reword this section? Not too sure how to word it as we are 
telling we certified for 1.4 but it works fine with Java 5


2) Under "Administration Console Security Configuration", it should
mention that the username/password can be changed within the console
itself.  e.g. "This can be changed through the console (in the "Security
-> Console Realm" section) or by editing /var.."


DONE


3) Looks like there's a typo in the "Deploying Applications" section.
It says "/bin/java -jar." instead of just "java
-jar."


Where is the typo? you mean we should not mention the directory here?


4) In that same section, perhaps worth mentioning that you can run the
login command in the deployer tool and not have to enter the password
over and over.  It's kind of a minor detail, but constant retyping of
passwords could ruin the deployment experience for people.


DONE. Login is a nice feature while testing although for production users may want to keep more 
control on the actual user deploying the apps.


5) Under "Choice of Web container", it sounds a little open-ended to say
"Please download the binary appropriate for your environment."  People
will wonder what it is that makes one or the other appropriate for their
 environment.   Not sure how to say it better, but perhaps indicate that
choosing one at random is fine if you or your company don't already have
a preference?


This is pretty much untouched from the previous release notes. I rephrased it a little bit but still 
is lacking of a good speech for choosing one container over the other. We have the same problem in 
the documentation, any ideas on how to better articulate the "pros and cons"?

itself.  e.g. "This can be changed through the console (in the "Security
-> Console Realm" section) or by editing /var.."

3) Looks like there's a typo in the "Deploying Applications" section.
It says "/bin/java -jar." instead of just "java
-jar."

4) In that same section, perhaps worth mentioning that you can run the
login command in the deployer tool and not have to enter the password
over and over.  It's kind of a minor detail, but constant retyping of
passwords could ruin the deployment experience for people.

5) Under "Choice of Web container", it sounds a little open-ended to say
"Please download the binary appropriate for your environment."  People
will wonder what it is that makes one or the other appropriate for their
 environment.   Not sure how to say it better, but perhaps indicate that
choosing one at random is fine if you or your company don't already have
a preference?

Cheers,

Thanks for bringing this together Hernan.  Let's get this kicked around over 
the weekend.

Hi All,
I put the RELEASE-NOTES-1.1 available on confluence so it will be easier 
for you to provide some input. It is based on the previous version and 
it needs a lot of work.


Here are some of the areas where I'm hoping to gather and summarize your 
feedback


* Future Road Map at a Glance
* Significant Changes Since the 1.0 release
* Overall Project Status
* Significant Missing Features
* Known issues

Some of these will get more complete as we get closer to a release 
candidate but I will really like to start seeing your feedback earlier :)


I also need your comments for the overall summary of changes that will 
go into the documentation, I can not include it if you do not provide 
input.


Here is the link to the v1.1 documentation.
