Turbine 2.x based apps and WAR/EAR issues.
Dear All,
I'm working in FORTHnet S.A. (http://www.forthnet.gr) , a Greek
Telecommunication company, where we have created several mission critical
application based on Turbine 2.x.
The most annoying problem we have with this excellent tool is that we can't
deploy our turbine based application directly to our web application
container in WAR format. The reason is surely well known to all of you (call
me getRealPath() and direct File access in several locations of the turbine
project source code). Certainly there are workarounds, like unzipping the
application's war file to the application server's "web-app" dir (this is our
workaround for WLS7.1) or by using the "applicationRoot" init parameter in
the application's web.xml. These kind of solutions may work but surely are
not well suited for production systems and for clustered environments.
Moreover, with EAR modules the problem is more complicated (actually we don't
have a workaround for this kind of scenario).
The reason I'm posting this e-mail is that I'm willing to help and apply
patches, but I hesitate since, I don't know if there is already an effort at
that direction (turbine 2.4-dev perhapds) or some kind of proposals for
resolving this issue in the turbine-dev community (I've just subscribed to
the list). Can anyone suggests or give me some directions ?
Best Regards
Filippos Slavik

It depends on the type of functionality and how urgently it is required.
Usually new functionality or major refactoring of old functionality will
be done at cvs HEAD. If the patch is to fix a bug or to provide a minor
functional improvement that will benefit users of the existing stable
then patches should be submitted for both the branch (in this case
TURBINE_2_3_BRANCH and HEAD).

You can submit code to this list or attach it to a Torque Source issue
in Scarab. See http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html#Patches for
info on the patch format.

In the areas that you are talking about, 2.4 and 2.3 are identical. 2.4 is
mainly focused on the services end of turbine. If you can submit patches to
one, I'll take care of tweaking them to work with the other one.
Send patches to the list works best...

Eric, thank's for your fast response.
I think it would be better to patch against TURBINE_2_3_BRANCH or TURBINE_2_3
version, since the T2.4 version is fair away from becoming the current stable
release and this issue should be fixed ASAP, therefore I believe the
TURBINE_2_3_BRANCH is a more appropriate place to patch and code. If the
patch, which I'm willing to produce, will be ok then perhaps a T2.3.1 version
could be produced soon enough. What do you think ?
Ohh... Where do I send patches ?

Hi Filippos,
Welcome aboard! There have been other people wishing to have this issue
fixed as well. However not much effort has happened on this front.
However, it would be a very valuable patch to have. Take a look at T2.4,
from CVS, make sure you can compile and run the unit tests and that would be
great!
I'd love to see some patches in this area.
Eric
