Hey folks --
I'm starting a new Cocoon application and I want to try to take advantage of
the new 2.1 build system and the blocks stuff. As I couldn't find any
documentation on how to do this, I put together something and wanted to run
it by all of you to let me know if I'm on the right track. I added the
following directory structure to the src/blocks dir:
testblock/
conf/
testblock.xmap
java/
lib/
webapp/
testblock/
sitemap.xmap
build.xml
conf/testblock.xmap inserts a match/mount into the main sitemap to mount my
webapp/testblock/sitemap.xmap:
<xmap xpath="/sitemap/pipelines/pipeline"
unless="[EMAIL PROTECTED]'testblock']">
<map:match pattern="testblock/**">
<map:mount check-reload="yes" src="testblock/" uri-prefix="testblock"/>
</map:match>
</xmap>
I created the webapp directory to hold all the stuff I need copied to
build/webapp, and build.xml is the ant task that copies it:
<project default="main" basedir=".">
<target name="main">
<copy filtering="on" todir="${build.webapp}">
<fileset dir="${block.dir}/webapp"/>
</copy>
</target>
</project>
Finally I added my new block to gump.xml:
<project name="cocoon-block-testblock" status="unstable">
<package>org.apache.cocoon</package>
<ant target="gump-block">
<property name="block-name" value="testblock"/>
<property name="version" value="@@DATE@@"/>
</ant>
<depend project="cocoon" inherit="all"/>
<work nested="tools/anttasks"/>
<home nested="build/cocoon-@@DATE@@"/>
<jar name="blocks/testblock-block.jar"/>
<nag from="Gump" to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
</project>
Doing a build webapp builds it and it all seems to work.
Does this seem right? Is there anything else I should be doing?
Also, is there a way to hot-deploy blocks without restarting jetty?
cheers,
-steve
