[DISCUSS] Graduation
Hi all, After the second release and an ever growing community, I think we are ready to graduate from the Incubator. At the beginning we entered the Incubator sponsored by the Apache Jackrabbit project with the potential goal of graduating as a subproject to Jackrabbit. Over time, it showed, that Sling will have a life on its own and that the communities of Jackrabbit and Sling are sufficiently different. As a consequence the common opinion of the PPMC is that Sling might best graduate as an Apache Top Level Project. Therefore, I hereby launch a discussion about our graduation. Everyone is invited to state her or his opinion. I also drafted a board resolution [1], which we will have to provide to the Incubator PMC as the basis for the graduation discussion on the Incubator general list. Next steps are then: * vote here about graduation * discuss graduation on the Incubator general list * have the Incubator PMC hold a recommendation vote * submit the board resolution If all goes well, we might be able to submit the resolution for the June board meeting.

[RT] Generic scriptable launcher
Hi, I'm thinking of creating a generic launcher, using a text file definition to load and start jars, allowing a Sling launcher to take over and load and start bundles once a main class is started. Here's a rough idea - I haven't looked at Karaf closely yet, there's probably some overlap, but my idea is to create a generic Java launcher, having nothing to do with OSGi, that in turn launches an OSGi-aware main class. The launcher is a runnable jar, or a war file. It uses a text file named launch.txt to define what to launch, example below. # START launch.txt example properties: sling.home = ./sling org.apache.commons.launcher.protocols.maven.repository.1 = http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 org.apache.commons.launcher.protocols.maven.repository.2 = http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository protocols: # by default only the http and file protocol are provided to # load jar files, more can be added by loading protocol jars # The maven protocol, for example, grabs jar files from # repositories defined by the *.maven.repository properties # found above. jar http://some.repository/launcher-maven-protocol-1.4.2.jar md5=1231231239812cd21231987 bootstrap: # load a number of jars that are required to start the main class jar maven:org.apache.felix:org.osgi.compendium:jar:1.2.0 md5=1231231239812cd212315645 jar maven:org.apache.felix:org.osgi.core:jar:1.2.0 sha1=1231231239812cd21231123213 jar maven:org.apache.felix:org.osgi.foundation:jar:1.2.0 sha1=1231231239812cd2123112313 jar maven:org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.launchpad.launcher:2.0.2-incubator md5=1231231239812cd2123112313 # now start the main class, from the org.apache.sling.launchpad.launcher jar main-class org.apache.sling.launchpad.launcher.Main -m launcher # The launcher stops processing here, and provides this file to the main class as its # standard input. The above launcher.Main processes the lines that follow the # above main-class statement # Load and start a few bundles, some with specific start levels bundle http://some.obr/some-bundle sha1=1231390890823121312 bundle maven:some.group:some.artifact:1.0 startlevel=2 md5=123213213984329843 # END launch.txt example Creating a launcher that will never change doesn't seem too hard, and then defining a Sling launchpad instance boils down to the launch.txt file. Using a text file to define bundles makes it easy for people to exchange configurations, as the text file fully defines the application assembly, based on the bundles URLs and digests.

Pax web and Jetty XML
Hi, Has anyone tried to re-configure pax web with an a custom jetty.xml and managed to keep the Jetty Session Manager working ? For some reason, with a custom Jetty.xml with a modified AJP connector, the Jetty Session Manager (HashSessionManager) stops working, so no session cookies are sent. any pointers would be very welcomed, and am into the pax source code at the moment. The other worrying thing is I cant see a way of binding a clustered session manager to the osgi HttpService, since appear to have the same scoping of sessions as a standalone webapp container. Ian

See below for a somewhat related experiment I recently did for launching Apache Tika using Maven 2 as the launch engine. Running mvn -f tika.xml exec:java would download all the required jars, set up the correct classpath and launch the configured main class. The interesting thing here is that the only essential part of the script below are the Maven coordinates of the tika-app jar. With a little bit of scripting you could boil the startup command down to something like mvnrun org.apache.tika tika-app 0.4-SNAPSHOT with no Tika-specific configuration files required. And such a tool could be used to download and launch any runnable jar (and the full set of dependencies) in the Maven repository. Of course this doesn't do any of the OSGi stuff, but as you mention, the OSGi startup could well be handled as a second stage.

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation
IMHO Graduation should be done pretty soon since the major technical details have been clarified within the incubator phase and the topics turn more and more usecase specific or are cause by the common sideeffects of new features/changes. From a developers point of view the incubator state doesn't reflect the maturity of Sling which is more and more used in real projects. I know I might not be in the position to complain about documentation since I yet didn't find time by myself to get involved in this obviously not so famous part of the framework. But in my opinion for this step some people should help Mike with his try to lower the barrier for first-timers. Graduation could be used to get some attention and therefore enlarge the usergroup as welll as the contributors and commiters. BTW. at this point a users-mailinglist would really make sense since this mailinglist might be really confusing for a sling-rookie;) Is this user-mailinglist part of the graduationprocess?

Next steps are then: * vote here about graduation * discuss graduation on the Incubator general list * have the Incubator PMC hold a recommendation vote * submit the board resolution If all goes well, we might be able to submit the resolution for the June board meeting.

Re: [RT] Generic scriptable launcher
Hi, Bertrand Delacretaz schrieb: I'm thinking of creating a generic launcher, using a text file definition to load and start jars, allowing a Sling launcher to take over and load and start bundles once a main class is started. This sounds a lot like Tanuki Java Service Wrapper ... Here's a rough idea - I haven't looked at Karaf closely yet, there's probably some overlap, but my idea is to create a generic Java launcher, having nothing to do with OSGi, that in turn launches an OSGi-aware main class. The launcher is a runnable jar, or a war file. It uses a text file named launch.txt to define what to launch, example below. # START launch.txt example properties: sling.home = ./sling org.apache.commons.launcher.protocols.maven.repository.1 = http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 org.apache.commons.launcher.protocols.maven.repository.2 = http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository protocols: # by default only the http and file protocol are provided to # load jar files, more can be added by loading protocol jars # The maven protocol, for example, grabs jar files from # repositories defined by the *.maven.repository properties # found above. jar http://some.repository/launcher-maven-protocol-1.4.2.jar md5=1231231239812cd21231987 bootstrap: # load a number of jars that are required to start the main class jar maven:org.apache.felix:org.osgi.compendium:jar:1.2.0 md5=1231231239812cd212315645 jar maven:org.apache.felix:org.osgi.core:jar:1.2.0 sha1=1231231239812cd21231123213 jar maven:org.apache.felix:org.osgi.foundation:jar:1.2.0 sha1=1231231239812cd2123112313 jar maven:org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.launchpad.launcher:2.0.2-incubator md5=1231231239812cd2123112313 # now start the main class, from the org.apache.sling.launchpad.launcher jar main-class org.apache.sling.launchpad.launcher.Main -m launcher # The launcher stops processing here, and provides this file to the main class as its # standard input. The above launcher.Main processes the lines that follow the # above main-class statement # Load and start a few bundles, some with specific start levels bundle http://some.obr/some-bundle sha1=1231390890823121312 bundle maven:some.group:some.artifact:1.0 startlevel=2 md5=123213213984329843 # END launch.txt example Creating a launcher that will never change doesn't seem too hard, and then defining a Sling launchpad instance boils down to the launch.txt file. Using a text file to define bundles makes it easy for people to exchange configurations, as the text file fully defines the application assembly, based on the bundles URLs and digests. WDYT? At first I thought: What may this be used for. Maybe just because I failed to understand the problem for which you present a solution. Is this about creating custom Sling configurations ? Now, this is certainly a valid request, to which we currently have two answers: * The launchpad/bundles project defines a package of bundles to be included in the app or webapp binary * A patch to extend the BootstrapInstaller to read more bundles for installation from the filesystem Maybe we need an additional mechanism for setting up an initial set of bundles. Now, there's pax runner [1] which sports so called profiles, which may be exactly what you are envisioning ? While I like our current construct of having very small environment-specific code (web app or standalone app) and the rest being unified, we might also go for favouring the standalone app...

Re: Revision of Sling documentation, determining old stuff
Hi, Bertrand Delacretaz schrieb: - Internationalization Support (can someone check, seems to be outdated, at least there's no getLocale() on SlingHttpServletRequest) [3] Correct. IMHO a typical example of a page that needs to have less details, to stand a better chance of staying in sync with the code. I don't agree here. We don't expect casual Sling users/programmers to read our code in-depth. Otherwise we would not need a documentation site. Of course we could now point to the published JavaDoc. And as said on the page, the getLocale() and getLocales() method is inherited from the ServletRequest interface and hence certainly not duplicated in the SlingHttpServletRequest interface. IIRC I wrote this page with the actual extensions/i18n bundle in mind. So this page is probably rather up to date. Regards Felix
Re: Revision of Sling documentation, determining old stuff
Hi, Mike Müller schrieb: Hi I'm reviewing the documentation on the Sling Site and need your help do determine old stuff, because I'm not sure if they are up-to-date or not. So please give me some feedback on the following pages: - Architecture (seems to be up-to-date) [1] Yes, this is up to date, since it has only recently been written by me. - Eventing and Jobs (can someone check) [2] - Internationalization Support (can someone check, seems to be outdated, at least there's no getLocale() on SlingHttpServletRequest) [3] - Installing and Upgrading Bundles (can someone check seems to be outdated in favour of Felix management console) [4] While the contents is still correct (except for the reference to Sling Web Console instead of the Felix Web Console), this page should probably be dropped. Maybe we should just create a general page on system managament and refer to various options like the Felix Web Console or the Felix Shell (soon there will be a standardized Shell) - Assembly (can someone check, seems not to be part of Sling, maybe CRX) [5] It was part of Sling and is now in the whiteboard. This mechanism predates our knowledge about the OSGi Deployment Admin Service and was an attempt to mimick Eclipse Features. I agree with Bertrand, that we should drop this page. - Apache Sling Rewriter (maybe ok, but can't find org.apache.sling.rewriter.*) [6] - Groovy Support (seems to be ok) [7] We might want to drop this page. Since Groovy 1.6 the groovy library is a bundle and can directly be deployed into any OSGi Container and is also supported by Sling. We even included it in the standard Sling 5 binary. - XSLT Processing Pipeline (seems to be ok) [8] - Maven Sling Plugin (can someone check) [9] This page might be incomplete because the latest version of the plugin supports uploading bundles into the repository to support the JCR Install functionality.
