Hi all, I'm exploring the pax-exam project because* I want to change the location of the pax-exam probe generated* (location in the file system and possibly its name): I'm using a karaf container to actually test and in that project in order to configure the probe itself I need to specify a method annotated with "@ProbeBuilder". By looking where the annotation "@ProbeBuilder" was actually used I discovered the methods `overwriteWithUserDefinition` and `createProbeBuilder` in `TestProbeBuilder` which , apparently, creates a probe implementation from a template (i.e., system.createProbe()). Looking at the method interface it seems that I just need to change the tem dir via the method `setTempDir`.
However, there is a problem: the associated method `getTempDir`, technically used to retrieve such a temp directory, is not used in the project at all (or at least, a search in my IDE gave no usage result). Since I couldn't find usages of `getTempDir` method, I turn my attention on `system.createProbe()`. The only implementation I found was in `ReactorManager.createProbeBuilder`. Here I noticed that the `tempDir` field of the pax-probe is populated by a temporary folder via the line `cache = createTemp(new File(work.getWorkingDirectory()));` whereas the `store` variable may represents an abstract storage location. Inspecting further the standard implementation of `TestProbeBuilderImpl.build()` seems to reveal that such a variable is responsible to decide where the probe is actually stored. In particular, it seems that the only implementation of `Store`, `TemporaryStore`, actually creates the probe in temp file via `createTempFile` and only then transfer it in a given location `TemporaryStore.getLocation()`. So changing the return value of such a method should do the trick. My questions are: - what is the real purpose of `getTempDir` method in `TestProbeBuilder`? Is is really useless or it has an implicit need? - I've noticed that both the filename of such a probe and its symbolic name are hardcoded? Do you know any location in pax-exam (or karaf) where such hardcoded names are used? I ask this because if I can, I would like to change them :) - Is it indeed safe to change the instance of `Store` with another that allows me to change the actual probe-location? - If I want to add some javadoc documentation in some classes (like the totally undocumented `TestProbeBuilder`), what are the contribution rules? Can you give me a link to them so I can read them? On pax-exam site I couldn't find them, but maybe I'm just stupid :D Thanks for any kind reply -- -- ------------------ OPS4J - http://www.ops4j.org - ops4j@googlegroups.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OPS4J" group.
