It appears that sandbox/javaee5 is the location that we should be using
to integrate various EE 5 items until 1.2 is released. Therefore, I
thought I would post some information that I've learned (and problems
that I've encountered) here since I supposed others are or soon will be
doing the same thing. Perhaps somebody has some information that might
help get around some of problems listed below (such as when Jetty
snapshots might be published?).
First, this is a feature branch. To use it you must first build trunk to
populate your local repository. Next you must checkout
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/javaee5 and build it.
However, in doing the last step you'll hit some problems:
- The Jetty 6.1 snapshots are not published anywhere yet (at least not
anywhere I've been able to find them). Therefore, you will need to
build Jetty 6.1 locally. Can somebody related to both Geronimo and
Jetty help us to get the Jetty 6.1 snapshots published?
Building Jetty:
- You can check out Jetty from http://svn.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty/trunk
Jetty requires cvs to build (in case you don't already have it).
For me the build failed because of test failures but it appeared to
create the jetty jars that we need.
After building Jetty you should be ready to build the javaee5 branch.
Of course, this build requires JDK 1.5
- Next I hit a problem building javaee5. Apparently there have been
some changes in Jetty since the original integration in the branch. It
appears that the Jetty Session object may have changed. Here is the
error I received:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE

------------------------------------------------------------------------

location: class org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.AbstractSessionManager.Session
I then spoke with David Jencks and he told me the revision of Jetty that
he used when he first created the branch. That was revision 1064. So,
I checked out this Jetty revision but with this one the build fails
earlier with this error ....

I'll let you know as I resolve these issues in case you too need to work
on the JavaEE5 branch.
Thanks,
Joe
