Is the distinction that you are trying to make between projects that embed Geronimo vs. those that provide functions (such as plugins) that are installed on top of Geronimo? Could an entity provide both and get listed in each location for the same general project? For example, an entity that provides a payroll solution could create a plugin to install that solution on an existing Geronimo server instance. They might also create a simple assembly that has the plugin pre-installed for uses to download as a turn-key solution. Would they register under the Ready for, Powered by or both? Perhaps we could integrate both of these concepts into one idea by simply calling out a page to list entities that provide some level of integration with Geronimo (i.e. Geronimo Partners?). They could provide a one line description of their offering and a link to a page they own providing more detail on their level of integration (be it by providing Plugins, embedding a G server, providing support, whatever...). I'm just thinking out load and not completely sold on this idea of combining the lists myself ... just trying to eliminate some ambiguity (and perhaps creating more :-) ). Thoughts? Joe

As a result, you can easily manipulate the xml, but you get a slightly peculiar java object model that exactly represents the schema and cannot be modified. jaxb is focussed on the java pojos and lets you modify the pojos considerably from the xml while still providing accurate mapping. This can be much more convenient for directly constructing a pojo tree from xml suitable for configuring server components. It provides fewer validity checks than xmlbeans.

Round trip debugging of Geronimo in Eclipse
Hello all, I have set up a Geronimo 2.1 server in Eclipse using the instructions given at http://geronimo.apache.org/developing-the-geronimo-eclipse-plugin-in-eclipse.html. I have imported a server trunk tree as projects into my Eclipse environment, set up a Geronimo server runtime, and point a Plug-in Target Platform back to my plugin directory. At this point all seems to be working. I can use Eclipse to start and stop the server, and catch a break point in geronimo-system. However, when I try to modify the server code, I have difficulty taking the updated class back to the runtime to further debug it. I see modifying a Java file in Eclipse produces an updated class file in the server trunk framework module geronimo-system directory, but I still am unclear what steps or what poms to build to bring this class back to the server runtime. I would appreciate any doc pointers or explanations to help clear my newbie confusion.

I know it's still kinda early but it would be great if we can have this tutorial updated ( a new one for 2.1 actually ), I figure a lot of users would be interested in testing this on 2.1 I'll be doing it then. I helped a geronimo user offline who had some troubles with it, but he eventually confirmed it worked fine with G 2.0.2 or G 2.1-SNAPSHOT and the latest Eclipse 3.4 M5 and other Eclipse goodies to satisfy the geronimo eclipse plugin so it should work with your configuration. I'll give it a shot tonight (PST). What worried me the most was that Geronimo 2.1 Enhancements from RELEASE_NOTES-2.1.txt was not covered by the documentation. I'm going to describe Custom server assemblies - Lightweight server assemblies may be created that contain only the functional components required by your application(s). as I guess that's our differentiator against other application servers and one of the topic we should cover during our next presentation about Geronimo. It seems like a way to custom profiles in java ee 6 as well. Jacek -- Jacek Laskowski http://www.JacekLaskowski.pl
Re: Round trip debugging of Geronimo in Eclipse
Dan Becker wrote: Hello all, I have set up a Geronimo 2.1 server in Eclipse using the instructions given at http://geronimo.apache.org/developing-the-geronimo-eclipse-plugin-in-eclipse.html. I have imported a server trunk tree as projects into my Eclipse environment, set up a Geronimo server runtime, and point a Plug-in Target Platform back to my plugin directory. At this point all seems to be working. I can use Eclipse to start and stop the server, and catch a break point in geronimo-system. However, when I try to modify the server code, I have difficulty taking the updated class back to the runtime to further debug it. I see modifying a Java file in Eclipse produces an updated class file in the server trunk framework module geronimo-system directory, but I still am unclear what steps or what poms to build to bring this class back to the server runtime. I would appreciate any doc pointers or explanations to help clear my newbie confusion. Thanks, Dan Also being a Geronimo newbie, I'm sure I'm not the best to answer this, but what I have seen work for me (and I'm sure this is the long way) follows. After making my change to the code, I do a mvn at the trunk level. This will build the changed code and any dependencies and the assemblies.

A sample can be found on our wiki at - http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxSITE/Powered+by+Geronimo Thoughts? -Donald It seems that there is some overlap between the Ready for Geronimo idea and the Powered by Geronimo idea. Is the distinction that you are trying to make between projects that embed Geronimo vs. those that provide functions (such as plugins) that are installed on top of Geronimo? Could an entity provide both and get listed in each location for the same general project? Yes, that was the initial thought... Sort of along the Eclipse Ready and Built on Eclipse programs - http://www.eclipse.org/legal/logo_guidelines.php http://www.eclipse.org/artwork/ For example, an entity that provides a payroll solution could create a plugin to install that solution on an existing Geronimo server instance. They might also create a simple assembly that has the plugin pre-installed for uses to download as a turn-key solution. Would they register under the Ready for, Powered by or both? Perhaps we could integrate both of these concepts into one idea by simply calling out a page to list entities that provide some level of integration with Geronimo (i.e. Geronimo Partners?). They could provide a one line description of their offering and a link to a page they own providing more detail on their level of integration (be it by providing Plugins, embedding a G server, providing support, whatever...). I'm just thinking out load and not completely sold on this idea of combining the lists myself ... just trying to eliminate some ambiguity (and perhaps creating more :-) ). Thoughts? Hmmm - interesting compromise. I was going for the idea of Geronimo Ready as a way to help promote/evangelize Geronimo and projects that support it, so maybe a generic Supports Geronimo or Geronimo Partner logo and page with a quick summary on their offering would suffice for now.

Apologies for coming late to this thread. There is interest in using myfaces within Eclipse and we are currently completing our due diligence on the code base.

They were very helpful in deciding how to move forward on this matter. IIUC, Geronimo makes two uses of the CDDL-licensed xsd files. 1. The unmodified xsd files are available to the xml parser to avoid downloading the files from the internet during operation. 2. The unmodified xsd files are compiled into Java classes which are then compiled into binary form for execution. The new policy seems to address both cases, assuming that Geronimo chooses to update their copies of the files to the CDDL-licensed versions. Just to be precise, Geronimo does not currently use CDDL-licensed schema files. Moving to the CDDL-licensed versions of these schema files is, IMO, the right thing to do. I intend to start this next week. There's still the question of how the CDDL license extends to the resultant binaries. Something for next week, I guess... --kevan - DISCLAIMER: Discussions on this list are informational and educational only.

With every update to Geronimo deployment schema, it's a major pain to generate new EMF classes. If however, GEP uses the same model framework as that of Geronimo server (XMLBeans), then at least this problem would be solved. IIUC JSR-88 DConfigBeans would be the ideal model framework for GEP - in that case even if the model framework of server changes in future, GEP would be unaffected. b) Critical bug fixes c) Make Download and Install option more intuitive d) Customize Web Services Wizard: The default implementation of WTP's web services wizard embeds an Axis engine inside a web-app and then deploys it in a web server such as Tomcat. However this isn't the right approach for Geronimo as it already has a global web services engine deployed. Hence web services wizard's behavior must be customized when deploying onto Geronimo. e) Better Remote server support f) Testsuite Automation g) Integrating JavaEE Samples. 3) Admin Console Tools: a) Server Build Tool: For instance, a button to push that spits out a server with just what is needed for a set of apps and nothing else. http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@geronimo.apache.org/msg54849.html b) Cluster Admin Tools: Geronimo has a lot of partial clustering solutions.

Re: [Fwd: Geronimo Documentation - 5-minute Tutorial on Enterprise Application Development with Eclipse and Geronimo]
Just to clarify about the deployment issues I'm getting.

We can provide enabling this attribute per server instance for G 2.0.x and G 2.1.x Tomcat servers using a system property org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.GeronimoStandardContext.allowLinking as it would require minimal changes to code and won't come in the way of compatibility.

I'm not sure two separate pages are the way to go with this. They're essentially two sides of the same coin in my mind.

I know it's a lot of work to spin a new release candidate so I'm debating if this issue alone merits creating a new image. Creating the release does take a bit of effort, but should be mostly a matter of time. The file uploads to Apache took ~ 8 hours, I think. But this was from home. So, was upload limited... We should be past all of the first-time build barriers that I was running into over the weekend. What are the INFO messages? What are the user actions that trigger them? I'm probably OK with INFO messages. We can clean them up in 2.1.1... But rebuilding is not a big issue, if we want to clean them up. Hmm the logging issue might be a red herring. I started to see the info messages after I installed the Artifactory 1.2.5 war file. Some of these messages are from Artifactory itself however after I installed that I also started to see info message from just about all console portlets by simply navigating to them ... such as: 2008-02-11 13:01:29,286 [INFO ] (GeronimoLog.java:79) - Portlet mode 'edit' not found for portletId: '/console-base.ThreadPool!2137960813|0' 2008-02-11 13:01:29,287 [INFO ] (GeronimoLog.java:79) - Portlet mode 'help' not found for portletId: '/console-base.ThreadPool!2137960813|0' I need to dig a bit more.

Re: Geronimo in year 2008
Here are some of my thoughts: 1) Tests and testing. We need to write more tests especially functional tests as a group. I can list a number of cases where simple changes caused things to break but we didn't find out about it until a few weeks later. I'm not talking about very complicated tests, just simple tests to verify the component is still functioning right. 2) Samples. Like Donald mentioned, take better care of them and release them with each new G release. 3) Reacting to user questions. Create/update documentation (e.g. FAQ) as soon as the same question is posted twice on the user mailing list. 4) Leverage GShell. Write more useful GShell commands to automate or reduce the number of manual configuration steps to configure Geronimo for something. One example: creating/managing G instances.

HttpRequestEncoder does not make any effort in checking to see if they are present in the headers already. As a result, they may be added twice if one is not careful. For example, - Content-Type Content-Length are added by HttpRequestEncoder for POST requests, and should not be added by callers. - Host User-Agent are always added by HttpRequestEncoder, and should not be added by callers as ordinary headers. Although one could argue that callers should not add these headers by hand, I think HttpRequestEncoder still should ensure that they are not added twice. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

I have imported a server trunk tree as projects into my Eclipse environment, set up a Geronimo server runtime, and point a Plug-in Target Platform back to my plugin directory. At this point all seems to be working. I can use Eclipse to start and stop the server, and catch a break point in geronimo-system. However, when I try to modify the server code, I have difficulty taking the updated class back to the runtime to further debug it. I see modifying a Java file in Eclipse produces an updated class file in the server trunk framework module geronimo-system directory, but I still am unclear what steps or what poms to build to bring this class back to the server runtime. I would appreciate any doc pointers or explanations to help clear my newbie confusion. the modified class(es) need to get into the proper jar and that jar be copied into the appropriate place in the geronimo repository.

Is the distinction that you are trying to make between projects that embed Geronimo vs. those that provide functions (such as plugins) that are installed on top of Geronimo? Could an entity provide both and get listed in each location for the same general project? Yes, that was the initial thought... Sort of along the Eclipse Ready and Built on Eclipse programs - http://www.eclipse.org/legal/logo_guidelines.php http://www.eclipse.org/artwork/ For example, an entity that provides a payroll solution could create a plugin to install that solution on an existing Geronimo server instance. They might also create a simple assembly that has the plugin pre-installed for uses to download as a turn-key solution. Would they register under the Ready for, Powered by or both? Perhaps we could integrate both of these concepts into one idea by simply calling out a page to list entities that provide some level of integration with Geronimo (i.e. Geronimo Partners?). They could provide a one line description of their offering and a link to a page they own providing more detail on their level of integration (be it by providing Plugins, embedding a G server, providing support, whatever...). I'm just thinking out load and not completely sold on this idea of combining the lists myself ... just trying to eliminate some ambiguity (and perhaps creating more :-) ). Thoughts? Hmmm - interesting compromise. I was going for the idea of Geronimo Ready as a way to help promote/evangelize Geronimo and projects that support it, so maybe a generic Supports Geronimo or Geronimo Partner logo and page with a quick summary on their offering would suffice for now.

[Discuss] Model for deployment plans in GEP - Move from EMF to XMLBeans or JAXB?

Re: [Discuss] Model for deployment plans in GEP - Move from EMF to XMLBeans or JAXB?
One value, would be when we move to Java SE 6 as the required JDK level for Geronimo and use the JAXB implementation in the JDK, we could remove one dependency from the server assemblies...

We certainly need more exposure in the tools area and having a Geronimo NetBeans plugin is a way to go. Eclipse one's fine, but we need to bring Geronimo to NetBeans masses and let them know there's another application server with a name that starts with G which is worth paying attention to as well. Documentation, documentation and no need to say more but documentation is an absolute must. In most cases, we have an associated JIRA for a new feature or a major bug fix. How about we designate the JIRA as resolved only after the related documentation is in place? Many a time we verify the code before closing the JIRA. It shouldn't be hard adding a wiki page with a small write up on how to use that feature or any work around provided. It can be a detailed document or an entry in an FAQ. This will also help in coming up with comprehensive docs after a release. My +1 too. Good practice. Jacek -- Jacek Laskowski http://www.JacekLaskowski.pl -- Thanks, Shiva

Re: Geronimo in year 2008
I like this list but I think we should first focus on features that directly impact the end-user experience with G. For example, considering the first three items on this list, the 3rd one has the most impact on the end user and therefore in my mind it should have higher priority then the other two.

For instance, the provided scope means this jar is available in this components classloader but not children == something we don't really support. Optional dependencies might really simplify a lot of configuration. Come up with an OSGI story Improve Spring integration Provide a RBAC security system (such as triplesec or redback) Improve Roller and Jetspeed integration, including security integration. I agree with the other proposals too. thanks david jencks On Feb 7, 2008, at 6:58 AM, Vamsavardhana Reddy wrote: Hello, Geronimo had a great year 2007. I don't need to re-list all our achievements listed in Matt's mail from 31st Dec 2007 (http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@geronimo.apache.org/msg54994.html). Now that 2.1 is also rolling out, I think it is time we start discussing what we want to do in Geronimo in year 2008. Let us also discuss what we must do to make Geronimo an application server of choice. I would like all of us to use this mail thread to put forth our thoughts (and any action items some of us may have already come up with silently) so that the community can see what great heights Geronimo will scale in 2008.

[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-3838) memory (probably related to sessions) leak
memory (probably related to sessions) leak -- Key: GERONIMO-3838 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3838 Project: Geronimo Issue Type: Bug Security Level: public (Regular issues) Components: Memory Leaks Affects Versions: 2.0.2 Environment: tested with JDK 1.5 running on Windows XP and FreeBSD6.2 Reporter: Radim Kolar Priority: Critical There is memory leak and it can be repeated very easily, so it should be very easy to catch Install Geronimo and then run some kind of benchmarking software against its admin UI login page, for example program ab from Apache HTTP. This is realistic attack scenario, because lot of denial of service attacks are doing this (requesting one page many times). Watching memory used graph in admin console shows free memory slowly decreasing. After all available memory is exhausted, application server stops serving new requests and never restores ifself back to working state. I think that it is caused by allocating sessions without limiting total number of sessions to keep in memory and possibly to swap sessions out to file. There needs to be user-configurable setting for preventing this, it would be nice to add such setting to Admin console. Its very important to get this bug fixed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
Re: [DISCUSS] Geronimo Server 2.1 and Geronimo TxManager 2.1.1 Releases
Another potential issue: When I shut-down the jetty6-javaee5 server from the admin console I hit the following exceptions (I don't get these errors from the command line or via ctrl-C): 13:23:19,474 ERROR [TcpTransportServer] Could not stop service: tcp://0.0.0.0:61616.
