Hi Dain, and David,
Well, I'm not as experienced with Maven as I am with Ant, so that
may be the reason for my question. I will definitely give the topic
a look, and read through the maven plugin source code when I have
time to see what it's doing. Thanks for the pointers.
It is great to have you back!
I am doing some in depth learning of what has occurred in Geronimo
since my attention span slipped sometime last year. I've written
and deployed my first very small JSP application with JDBC
connector, and was able to do a database query and print some
results. So, being encouraged by that I decided to understand more
about the deployer, and hence my question.
Nice. If you get some time, it would be cool to add your sample code
to the wiki so others can try it out.
I'm pretty sure my server was running the RuntimeDeployer
configuration, but since I am new to your deployment plan based
deployer, I may have done something that caused it not to be there
for a while when I was seeing the problems. I guess it's the price
paid for extreme modularity, so only experience can help me
(definitely not a fault).
Please don't lower the bar. Just because we have a modular structure
doesn't mean we need to have a harder to understand server. For
example, I consider the fact that the deployer doesn't complain when
the RuntimeDeployer isn't deployed a HUGE bug. Also when it
complains it should say "The org/apache/geronimo/RuntimeDeployer
configuration is not running in your server. To start it, simply
execute java -jar start org/apache/geronimo/RuntimeDeployer". Or
even better, it could say "The org/apache/geronimo/RuntimeDeployer
configuration is not running in your server. Would you like to start
it now? [N/y]"
Can you file a bug report on this?
So far I am quite happy to be back. I'll let you know if I have
questions.
Please do. We are at the stage where feedback on what is hard to
understand, frustrating, or just weird is critical to the success of
this project.
Thanks,
-dain
