Re: [equinox-dev] provisioning self hosting

2007-07-23 Thread Pascal Rapicault
I helped Andrew O. with the self hosting setup and what became apparent at that time was this is *not* a getting started scenario for someone just willing to step through an installation. This setup is interesting for two groups of people, the tool smiths willing to understand how provisioning and

2007-07-23 Thread Jeff McAffer
Not sure I understand. If one is writing some system that calls the provisioning API, they need to selfhost. Such a person may have no interest in how provisioning works, writing tools for it, ... They simply want to call the code to have things installed at runtime. An example would be som

My biggest problem at the time was that I was running eclipse in ways I had not had to before: - I usually run Eclipse application (workbench) launches, and using those OSGI and test launch configs was kind of bizarre. - If the data is not set up propertly you get those RepositoryCreation/FileNo

Hi Simon, I got the supplied code working with the jetty 6.1.5 jars. Comparing it with the jetty 5 integration, I have some questions before submitting my patches: - I see that in the current jetty 5 integration you do not directly create instances of HttpServiceServlet, but uses a internal dele

Following (and, carefully!) the instructions in the "My First Run" section. First, it is not clear to me whether the argument "-Declipse.prov.metadataGenerator.eclipseBase=" should point back to the same Eclipse install from which I am running or to another Eclipse install. So I insta

One of the things I really like about the Knopflerfish implementation of this service (which also uses Jetty) is that they use the whiteboard pattern to retrieve a published SocketFactory service from the registry. This allows me to set up the SocketFactory without complicated System properties, o

Hi, Paul! I think you need to generate metadata first using the Metadata Generator SDK launch config underneath the OSGi Framework launch configs. At least that's what I did before trying any other provisioning launches. Now that you mention it, I had the same question about eclipseBase when I

I think SocketFactory is one of the best candidates in the VM as an OSGi Service. ;) I would like to avoid doing anything global but perhaps per Http Service instance we could allow using a discovered SocketFactory and then adding a custom Connector to the Server(?) What are your main use cases f

I was updating the selfhosting doc and realized that one of the reasons it is complex is because the selfhosting support is not available in binary form that people can just add to their dev install. If it were then we would eliminate the need for Left (or Left would become Middle). The probl
