Re: Apache Cassandra backend for Sling Accepted for GSoC 2013 !

[Ian Boston <ie...@tfd.co.uk>]

Hi Dishara,

In Sling ( and OSGi environments) the best practice is to first use JUnit
test, then JUnit tests with Mocked services (using Mockito), then by
spinning up an OSGi Container using PAX Exam and finally with integration
tests that can run in a real instance. Ultimately testing with a real
application exercised by http scripts.  How many of those you use will
really depend on the level of coverage required.

 I would suggest for this project you start with JUnit tests and Mockito.
That might be all you need to verify the code you are writing.

Best Regards
Ian

Hi Ian
Suppose I created a separate OSGi bundle for this project. How can I test
it. We can test it internally, but how to test it as a whole ?   (initially
we might not need integrated tests)

Oops. I forgot to add the url earlier. Here it is. [2]. I added some codes
which uses hector/cql for a directory called scratch(to test my stuff). I
will create a separate osgi bundle project in the trunk of this and
maintain it as the major code.

Excellent, do you have a URL ?

No.
You will need to depend on the Sling Api and you can reference that as a
maven dependency. Either a released dependency, or a snapshot if you need
an Api that has not been released.

No. Your project will generate a separate osgi bundle that will be added to
an instance of sling. That will probably be done via the web insole or
using the sling bundle installer plugin invoked using
Mvn clean install sling:install

Yes. Even the sling committers often work in the whiteboard area ie not
trunk, when developing proof of concepts. If they work they go into
contrib, and if everyone wants them the bundle goes into the standalone
build. We rarely add new functionality to the core bundle.

Hi Ian
I created a google code svn project. Wouldn't I be need adding codes to
sling trunk ? I have to create ResourceProviders and etc in sling core. My
codes should be basically inside the sling trunk/branch.  So how to achieve
this with a separate code base. Did you mean copy the sling trunk to my
google code project and start working on it and once project is done, merge
the changes to the apache trunk?

Re: Apache Cassandra backend for Sling Accepted for GSoC 2013 !

[Ian Boston <ie...@tfd.co.uk>]

Hi Dishara,
Thats great.
Two things that are relevant to your project that it would be good to have
a think about, try and implement and experiment with.

1. What happens when you have a very active blogger, who makes 20000 blog
posts a year ? Think about the content and how it is structured.

2. Can you add file upload to the blog ?


3. What would happen the blog was a photo sharing blog where a photographer
had just come back from a location survey with a 32GB card full of low res
(0.5MB) Jpegs  ?

Have a go at implementing the above and writing a script to simulate the
usage. You might want to write the test script in bash/python/ruby or even
Java.


BTW. Your going to need a source repository. Have a look at Google Code,
GitHub, Bitbucket and get an account. If you could use Git or SVN that
would be great as I know they are both compatible with SVN.

Best Regards
Ian

Re: Apache Cassandra backend for Sling Accepted for GSoC 2013 !

[Dishara Wijewardana <dd...@gmail.com>]

Hi Ian,
Before I tried [1], first of all I tried p[2] which was also quite
interesting. (how easy it is to render a given sling node in a given html
format and etc). It works fine without any issues.I used curl commands
always. Some of the specified URLs in the example is refers to port 8888,
but it should be 8080 by default. Because when I changed to 8080 only it
works for me.

Thank you very much for the link[1] which gave me some what understanding
of an end user experience of sling. (even though I tried it at very last
moment before GSoC begins). I believe there is quite a many, more useful
functions provided on the sling.js library other than which specified in
[1].

Hi Ian,
Unfortunately not. Really sorry for that. I am still recovering from a
viral cold and heavy fever. Just able to login to check emails. Still under
treatment. Probably by Monday I will be all good to go and will start my
work ASAP and cover the work with extra time and make sure this will not
affect the time line.
