[jira] Commented: (NUTCH-764) Add support for vfsfile:// loading of plugins for JBoss

["Andrzej Bialecki (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-764?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12775365#action_12775365 ] 

Andrzej Bialecki  commented on NUTCH-764:
-----------------------------------------

First question is: why is it sometimes vfsfile:// ? What you propose is just hiding the problem, and not solving it - Nutch does not support this protocol, so we should not pretend to do so. More specifically, plugins can only be loaded from locations accessible through the file:// protocol, and pretending that we can load them from vfsfile:// (whatever it may be) is just not true, even if it works in your specific case.

Second question: does it work with this fix, i.e. is Nutch able to load the plugins using this protocol?

>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0

> In the file:
> /src/java/org/apache/nutch/plugin/PluginManifestParser.java
> There is a check to make sure that the plugin file location is a url formatted like "file://path/plugins".
> When deployed on Jboss, the file protocol will sometimes be: "vfsfile://path/plugins".  The code with vfsfile can operate the same so I propose a change to the check to also allow this protocol.  This would allow Nutch to be deployed on the newer versions of JBoss without any modification.
