updating bundle-target mapping
Hello everybody,
while working on an IDE for Apache ACE (see
http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/eclipse-ace/), we ran into an
interesting issue: We are able to build a bundle from its Eclipse PDE
project, and store the resulting new bundle version into ACE repository
(server started off Eclipse). Then we successfully update the
bundle-feature-distibution mapping and distribution-target mapping by
manipulating the corresponding xml config files, but are unable to find
a way to programmatically update the bundle-target mapping config which
is (strangely?) also needed. The new version of the bundle therefore
cannot be automatically pushed to a configured target.
(In other words, we are able to modify these ...
http://localhost:8080/repository/checkout?customer=apache&name=shop&version=XX
http://localhost:8080/repository/checkout?customer=apache&name=gateway&version=XX
... but don't know how to modify this
http://localhost:8080/repository/checkout?customer=apache&name=deployment&version=XX
)
Currently therefore we resorted to a "solution" to bring up a popup
window in Eclipse, instructing the user to run the Web UI and click
"retrieve" and "store" so as to update the bundle-target mapping.
Surely there must be a better way :) or at least so we think (a "hidden"
API or at least a well-defined URL on the repo/server). Could someone
enlighten us please?
Thanks,
Premek
PS: If you think an ACE IDE could be helpful to you, please feel free to
try it; we need feedback and ideas for its further evolution.

Re: Maven build problem
Posted by jb...@nanthrax.net.
Hi Geert,
Yeah, we know for the felix depencymanager. I've updated ace-pom to use apache pom 8 (which provides the snapshot repo) but the dependencymanager snapshot is not available. We 've discussed with Marcel to upload one.
For the maven poms, which ones are you talking about ? I made a big cleanup commit last week, maybe I forgot some ;)
Thanks
Regards
JB

Subject: Maven build problem
Hey folks,
I run into a build problem building the trunk without using any profile.
Dependency manager 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT cannot be found in any repo. Is this a
known issue? Should I build depman locally first, or is there a problem with
the apache snapshot repo?
Also, I've noticed some inconsistencies in the maven pom files so I get the
impression the transition to maven is not fully done yet. I've got several
years of experience with maven builds so if I can help out in that area let
me know.
(Some context: I'm a servicemix developer and would like to use Ace to
provision a Servicemix 4 Cloud.)
Greets,
Geert.

Marcel,
The deploymentadmin depends on the latest metatype snapshot (which
apparently isn't available in apache snapshots repo either), so you might
want to add that to the list of projects mentioned on
http://incubator.apache.org/ace/maven-build.html that need to be build
before ace can be build.
Geert.

Yes it is a known issue, and you should build the dependency manager,
deployment admin (and the included auto configuration) from source,
installing snapshots into your local Maven repository. We've documented that
here: http://incubator.apache.org/ace/maven-build.html

Contributions in that area are always very welcome! Not all of us here are

OK, after a longish pause... a little correction of the original
question, to clarify things up a bit.
The key puzzling thing for us is this: We know how to change the
Artifact-Gateway mapping at:

http://localhost:8080/repository/checkout?customer=apache&name=deployment&version=XX
but we don’t know why it isn´t changed automatically when we change
Artifact-Feature mapping at:

http://localhost:8080/repository/checkout?customer=apache&name=shop&version=XX
Could you enlighten us on that?

That's probably what we do - we access the ACE repository from within
our code via its URL interface similarly to the legacy
o.a.ace.test.tools.RepositoryTool (checkout and commit command) as
described at http://incubator.apache.org/ace/software-development-tools.html
We modify the mappings repository in three steps:
1) download the mapping as XML
2) Parse and modify the XML by DOM
3) Upload the modified mapping to ACE Server

StatefulGatewayRepository and RepositoryAdmin aren't used because, erm,
we don’t know how to use them. Would it be possible to give or point us
to some simple example code (like that in RepositoryTool class)?

Hi Premek,
Hm, it should be enough programmatically create the links, let the StatefulGatewayRepository generate the new deployment version (you could, for instance, start logging events to see whether that actually happens), and commit the RepositoryAdmin.
You are using the API's provided for this, e.g. the GatewayRepository and friends? Besides, did you remember to either approve the gateway, or to turn on its AutoApprove property?
