Can XBean split the configuration in 2 multiple files?
We currently have assembly.xml to declare how the component
dependencies/wiring and config.xml to fill in configurations for that
components.
I don't think so. I've had some experience w/ having deps and configs
in separate files and it has not been pretty. I've always liked having
the whole gestalt, right there in front of me.
I can't find much docs/informations about it.
http://www.xbean.org/Home has some info.
I can't find many informations about what xbean-kernel is and
xbean-server is, how to use them, and more.
I've just downloaded sources from here:
http://svn.xbean.org/trunk/
Is this the current official/updated repository? I see no changes
after february.
It moved to Geronimo.
Phoenix currently provide this services to James:
1) Lifecycle (start / dispose / stop)
2) Dependency management (Service wiring)
3) Centralized Services configuration
4) Centralized Logging management
5) Multiple James instances in a single JVM
Does XBean provide all of this?
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes, I think. Can you explain in detail?
4) No, thank goodness. Not that logging isn't critical. I like the
fact that XBean stays focused on a single area and doesn't try to be the
Swiss Army knife of server software. JMHO.
5) Yes
I would like to have more informations on XBeans and your plan and
know the opinion of the James PMC about maven2 and xbeans before to
tell my preference on the sandbox location.
Cool. It seems like there are three efforts that we are discussing.
XBean, Maven 2, and cornerstone conversion.
If you're going to try any of those steps anyway then we just need to
discuss (vote) wether give you repository access to work on a public
sandbox.
If you expect any of this to be included in the official James
distribution we should split the conversation for each change (XBean /
Maven2) and analyze the pros/cons of the change proposed and vote
about this.
I'm going to work in teeney steps anyway. I think that I'll probably
convert to Maven 2. This will help me understand James' setup and
architecture.
Stefano
PS: Would the usage of Maven2 simplify the introduction of an
installer similar to the one used in the Apache Directory project
(InnoSetup)? I think James windows distribution should have a similar
installer/service wrapper.
Geronimo has an installer that is built using Maven 2. I don't know too
much about it.
