Chris A. Mattmann commented on NUTCH-210: ----------------------------------------- Hi Jerome, The updates look fine. No objections from my end. I hope people find the patch useful. Cheers, Chris > Context.xml file for Nutch web application > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: NUTCH-210 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-210 > Project: Nutch > Type: Improvement > Components: web gui > Versions: 0.7.1, 0.7, 0.6, 0.7.2-dev, 0.8-dev > Environment: iMAC G5 2.3 Ghz, Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.3), 1.5 GB RAM, although > improvement is independent of environment > Reporter: Chris A. Mattmann > Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.7.2-dev, 0.8-dev, 0.7.1 > Attachments: NUTCH-210.060325.patch, NUTCH-210.Mattmann.patch.txt > > Currently the nutch web gui references a few parameters that are highly > dynamic, e.g., searcher.dir. These dynamic properties are read from the > configuration files, such as nutch-default.xml. One problem I'm noticing > however is that in order to change the parameter in the built webapp (the WAR > file), I am required to change the parameter first in the checked out Nutch > source tree, rebuild the webapp, then redploy. Or, if I'm feeling really > gutsty, I can go poke around in the unpackaged WAR file if the servlet > container exposes it to me, and try and modify the nutch-default.xml file > that way. However, I think that it would be really nice (and highly useful > for that matter) to factor out some of the more dynamic parameters of the web > application into a separate deliverable Context.xml file that would accompany > the webapp. The Context.xml file would be deployed in the webapps directory, > as oppossed to the WAR file itself, and the parameters could be updated > there, and changed as many times as necessary, without rebuilding the WAR > file. > Of course this will involve making minor modifications in the web GUI to > where some of the dynamic parameters are read from (i.e., make it read them > from the Context.xml file (using application.getParameter most likely). Right > now the only one I can think of is searcher.dir, but I'm sure that there are > others (in particular the searcher.dir one is the most annoying for me). > The timeframe on this patch will be within the next month. > Thanks, > Chris -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
