Contribution of Trade Performance Benchmark Sample to Geronimo

[Matt Hogstrom <ma...@hogstrom.org>]

I received approval yesterday that IBM is officially donating the Trade 
Application to Geronimo under the Apache license to help with functional 
and performance testing.  I have renamed the OpenSource version to 
dayTrader to avoid confusion between the two.

If your interested in seeing information about Trade now you can look at 
 
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=trade6 
to get some more information on the benchmark.  The nice thing is that 
it tests the WebContainer, the EJB container, Messaging, WebServices, 
one and two-phase commit in both a macro (whole application) and micro 
(web primitives) context to isolate performance issues.

I'm in the process of "mavenizing" the contribution and was structuring 
it to fit in the applications tree as daytrader.  I'd like some feedback 
on that that placement.

I'm pretty excited about this contribution as it gives us a functional 
and performance baseline to see where we stand in the world.  I have 
some initial performance measurements that I'll be posting next week 
(when my performance systems come back online).

I'm also working on an article to discuss deploying this application on 
Geronimo with a set of examples to provide real-world information on how 
to deploy and get an application working.

For those that are interested, I would like to get a Tomcat set of 
measurements in addition to Jetty so a quick note on how to swap the two 
  containers that would be excellent.

Please comment on placement and I will have the mavenized version as the 
application stands today out in the next couple of days.

Cheers,

Matt

Does anyone think this would be a good time to start a new  
Application subproject?  We can pull out all the apps from the main  
server tree into something peer and parallel with /devtools

Matt, thanks - this is great.

Any comments on starting an apps subproject?
