Re: [axis2] Module versions support

[Deepal Jayasinghe]

Hi all;

Without having a knowledge of module version user should be able to engage a 
module . In that case we have to get the default version
  (there will be two ways of engaging a module )
   1. engageModule(String moduleName);
   2 . engageModule(String moduleName , String moduleVersion);
Finding default version of some module if there are more than one module,
1. If there are multiple versions of the same module it can possible to 
specify the default version in axis2.xml as follows
     <defaultModuleVersions>
         <module name="abc" version="1.23">
         <module name="foo" version="0.89">
     </defaultModuleVersions>
2. If there are multiple versions of the same module and user does not 
specify that in axis2.xml then the default version will be the latest 
version

comments .....?

Thanks,
Deepal

I think we are done with the format of the version number ,
but I have some other problem to solve now say we have multiple version of 
the same module in the system , and right now at the deployment time I 
call the init method of each module (since we don't have the notion of 
module version yet) , there if the module want to do some stuff they can 
do  that , as an example in RM case if it has saved some data they can get 
them back at the initialization stage.

But the problem is what are we going to do if there are multiple versions 
of the same module , should we need to call init method of all the modules 
? where they are going to be engaged or not.

Thanks,
Deepal

just  reviewed the original email again...it talks about
xyz-00.0000.mar hence the confusion.

So, we should go with say security-1.23.mar. Right? just to be 
absolutely clear.

Right .. or security-1.235486.mar etc... basically we expect the format
to be modulename-{majorversion}.{minorversion}.mar where the two version
#s are integers. (Major should not have any leading zeros but that's
just a redundant comment - anyone who puts that deserves whatever
behavior they get.)
