New PHP Shindig gadget server code
----------------------------------
Key: SHINDIG-103
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-103
Project: Shindig
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Gadgets Server - PHP
Reporter: Chris Chabot
Assignee: Brian McCallister
This patch completely replaces the old code in the php directory of the shindig
project, and replaces it with a port of the java shindig code.
The java code used is from a checkout from February the 14th, this because
keeping track of the changes while porting and testing would have gotten in the
way of completing the first release in a timely fashion.
It implements the structure and workings from the java server and includes:
- Gadget server
- Proxy service
- JS service
The maIn differences from the Java branch are:
- Different caching engine (abstracted base class, sample file implementation
included)
- Different gadget rendering work flow (no multithreading in PHP)
- No enum's or name spaced classes in php, so their top level classes now
- Locale class to emulate the Java's Locale class
- Somewhat servlet like event handling to stay close to the Java's structure
Missing is the RPC feature, some custom speedups to get it closer to the Java's
speed (it's about 40% slower right now, but that gap might be fixed later on),
and a better logging / error reporting structure, it now only has a basic DEBUG
flag in the config, which if set, causes it to dump debug backtrace's on errors.
It's also missing Caja support, since that is Java only at the moment. Maybe
somewhere in the future we'll have a command line version available that we can
use.
It also contains a copy of the features directory structure (so that it doesn't
break on updates from the Java side of things, changes will have to be
implemented before you can copy over the new version) and a copy of the sample
container (minus the Caja options), so that people can test it directly.
