----------------------------------------
Hi Jacques,
I think your second option above is a good one. There are, however, few points
of concern:
# I think that some tests cannot happen simultaneously simply because one
webapp is overriding another. For example, say that you have two reports, one
implemented in FOP and the other one in BIRT both mapped to same request, and
both reports have tests associated with them (including the screen that
generates them). Given that one weapp is overriding another, it is difficult to
test both at the same time, especially if you have functional tests.
# specialpurpose components might become a bit difficult to develop because you
don't know how much of it is in the component's directory vs the directory of
the other components.
# Although it does not break the system, you still have stuff in applications
pointing outwards to specialpurpose
On the other hand, consider a scenario perhaps like this one:
# By default all specialpurpose components that override other components are
disabled
# Create a simple patch to enable all such components
# Create two build jobs in jenkins (or whatever builder), the first one tests
everything, the second one tests everything after applying the above patch, and
the two builds always occur consecutively.
This way, you continue to enjoy testing everything on all components without
breaking the isolation of lower components from upper ones, and everytime you
have a new specialpurpose component, you update your patch to handle it.
It's not pretty, but then again this whole override concept makes things rather
tricky and difficult. Anyway, I'm just pouring my thoughts out here hoping some
might stick. Thank you for the excellent explanations above, I will focus next
on improving the existing BIRT reports in another JIRA
