I'm looking at geronimo-jetty specs and I'm planning to implement it in coming days. The things that I'm wondering are as follows:
a. One thing that I can think of currently is that the tag should start with @geronimo.web instead of @geronimo.jetty. What if Geronimo starts to support tomcat, should the it also support a tag of @geronimo.tomcat? Are there any plans to support different specs for different web containers? Maybe one universal geronimo web tags should implement jetty, geronimo and other future web containers.
I agree. We are thinking of changing the default plan name to geronimo-web.xml since we hope that jetty and tomcat can use exactly the same plan.
b. Are the tags made as class level sufficient enough. I honestly don't have much experience with web deployment descriptors.
At the moment, I don't see how to usefully use xdoclet to construct a geronimo web plan, since all the information in the plan is at the web application level rather than the servlet level, which the class level tags would correspond to. Since none of the information is specific to a particular servlet, I don't think any information should be provided by a particular class. Am I missing something? Constructing the standard web.xml deployment descriptor could be useful, but this does not rely on anything having to do with geronimo.
many thanks, david jencks
