1 a tomcat 4x copied by ${basedir}/../jakarta-tomcat4x
2 a set of stuff for configuration slide.def slide.data and slide.xml at the moment they are in src/wrappers/wrappers/catalina/conf
that are going into jakarta-slide-1.0.16/server/conf/slide/**. There is even the old server xml with the 3 ports 808x
where slide.data was mantaining users (that now are mantained correctly in the tomcat-users.xml)
and slide.def remebers vaguely the Domain.xml
3 new updated code slide.war etc.
4 the slide client
All this stuff together is packed all together buy the actual build (by the release target in the build.xml)
in a way that was coherent two years ago when the last release was done
Now that part of the build still works and produces a jakarta-slide-2.0.0.tar.gz which is partially incoherent and in the end does not work, the code uses this magic forgotten slide.def as you would call it.
What is going on is that in that deployment the code is loading up the old crappy side.def instead of the new Domain.xml and new config stuff. The old configuration is used.
I understood you were aware about all this old crap because you are to put together a release, and basically I don't know the story of the all project (now I'm trying to figure it out). But these problems are standard things going on in large projects with old code.
In my view building something out of the box is quite important for end users they want something simple and straight forward to use.
Actually that part of the build needs a large refurbishment and I was going crazy because I was convinced it was mantained and up - to date with recent changes. And probably a lot of old stuff should removed and cleaned
Now I'm trying to have a script (it can be part of the build.xml) to deploy it in a tomcat and produce something out of the box.
You should have something similar, and there must be something similar to this in the new release build (as it was for 1.0.16)
Thanks a lot for you patience, it's very difficult to start from scratch and speak the same language.
I would like to help somehow (absolutely I don't want to create confusion, because you are putting in a lot of effort and this is very appreciated)
Diego
