Bootstrapping Web Apps
Hi, How does one bootstrap web apps comprised of ring + compojure (and/or aleph) + hbase/mongodb? Is there a best practice or recommended way? For example, in Rails based apps a series of predetermined initialization files are executed to fulfill various tasks, i.e. connect to dbs, message queues, active background jobs, etc. Thanks. -Ari -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: Bootstrapping Web Apps
I would try to do same thing I do when I need to initialise a simulated universe before running test. just a little bit more deep and less wide. mimmo On Feb 12, 2013, at 9:10 PM, Ari ari.brandeis.k...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, How does one bootstrap web apps comprised of ring + compojure (and/or aleph) + hbase/mongodb?

I've solved it by creating a bootstrap-function in my handler.clj, that
inits/bootstraps
the required components/namespaces in turn, like this:
(defn bootstrap! []
(scheduler/bootstrap!)
(mongo/bootstrap!))
...and passing it to ring's init-param in my project.clj, like this:
:ring {:init myapp.handler/bootstrap!
...}
I came up with this in the heat of the moment when I realized that I needed
a one-time bootstrapping step at startup, so by no means would I tout this
as the one proper way to do it.
My application is not big enough that this is really a concern for me, but
I'm
not that enticed by adding direct dependencies to everything that needs
bootstrapping in my handler.clj.
As a somewhat nicer solution, I considered separating out the
handler/bootstrap!-
function into a separate bootstrap.clj that would pull in the required
namespaces
and have handler.clj depend only on that.
I'd love to hear how other people solved this, and thoughts in general.

Hi, here is what I did for rssminer (A Clojure web app): https://github.com/shenfeng/rssminer/blob/master/src/rssminer/main.clj define a main function, accept args from stdin, parse them, save the argument, call `start-server`, do init, bind to port, accept request On Wednesday, February 13, 2013 4:10:00 AM UTC+8, Ari wrote: Hi, How does one bootstrap web apps comprised of ring + compojure (and/or aleph) + hbase/mongodb?
