[jira] [Commented] (OODT-452) Move the default File Manager policy files to 'core' subdirectory

["Ross Laidlaw (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-452?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13279596#comment-13279596 ] 

Ross Laidlaw commented on OODT-452:
-----------------------------------

When building OODT, the following code in assembly.xml (in _filemgr/src/main/assembly_) copies the contents of the _filemgr/src/main/resources/examples_ directory to the _filemgr/policy_ directory in the build target:

{code}
<fileSet>
  <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/examples</directory>
  <outputDirectory>policy</outputDirectory>
  <includes/>
</fileSet>
{code}

It also copies subdirectories and their contents too.  This means that the newly created _core_ and _geo_ subdirectories will be copied over along with any files they contain.  I've checked the [documentation for the maven assembly plugin|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html] and this is by design rather than by accident:

_"When <include> subelements are present, they define a set of project coordinates to include. If none is present, then <includes> represents all valid values..."_

I've tested this by building the latest OODT trunk and confirming that the _core_ and _geo_ directories and contents were copied over to the target policy directory, as expected.  

This means that in the future we could add more example configurations as subdirectories and these would automatically be picked up.

Therefore, to complete this task, all that's required is for a committer to perform svn moves for the three core files and commit the changes.  As far as I can see, no further actions would be required (i.e. no modifications to any other files), because I have made these changes locally and none of the tests for the build were affected.

As a newly appointed OODT committer I'd be happy to move and commit the files if the OODT team are happy for me to go ahead.

Following the changes, to access the core files the filemgr.properties file can be updated reference the _policy/core_ subdirectory rather than the _policy_ directory, for example as follows:

{code}
org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.repositorymgr.dirs=file:///usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/policy/core
org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.validation.dirs=file:///usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/policy/core
{code}

> Move the current contents of http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/trunk/filemgr/src/main/resources/examples, i.e. the default File Manager policy files 'elements.xml', 'product-types.xml' and 'product-type-element-map.xml' to a subdirectory named 'core', i.e.: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/trunk/filemgr/src/main/resources/examples/core.
> (ensure assembly.xml, unit tests, etc still work after moving!)
