---------------------------------
Do we still have this "taskrunner" in Roller 5? I've never heard of it...
> Cannot run Roller 4.0 tasks via TaskRunner, worked in 3.x
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ROL-1758
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1758
> Project: Roller
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Access & Data Model
> Reporter: David Johnson
> Assignee: Glen Mazza
> Priority: Minor
>
> Background
> The TaskRunner class is designed to make it as easy as possible to run a
> Roller task from the command-line, for those who wish to use a cron job or
> other script-based task running to run Roller tasks instead of running them
> inside the Java VM. The main benefit of using TaskRunner is that it does not
> require you to list all of the Roller jars in the classpath, instead you just
> specify the webapp dir and a secondary lib directory for JDBC jars etc. See
> rollertask.sh for an example of how to run
> The problem
> TaskRunner was working in Roller 3.x, but the scheduled task changes in
> Roller 4.0 broke the TaskRunner because all Roller tasks now extend
> RollerTaskWithLeasing, which expects Roller to be bootstrapped. If we have to
> bootstrap Roller first, in TaskRunner -- then TaskRunner will need the full
> Roller classpath, which defeats its purpose.
> If we add the following code to RollerTaskWithLeasing we can ensure that
> Roller is bootstrapped before the task is run.
> public final void run() {
> if (!WebloggerFactory.isBootstrapped()) {
> try {
> WebloggerStartup.prepare();
> WebloggerFactory.bootstrap();
> } catch (Throwable ex) {
> log.error("ERROR bootstrapping Roller", ex);
> throw new RuntimeException("ERROR bootstrapping Roller", ex);
> }
> }
> But that's not the only problem...
> I'm working on fixing this, and have just committed some related fixes in the
> rollertask example.
