Peter Petersson updated GERONIMO-2994:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: roller_maven_ant_task_070902_0.patch
                roller_plugin_070803.patch

Bringing Roller plugins to G v2.0.1 and roller-4.0_rc1 by adding roller_plugin_070803.patch and roller_maven_ant_task_070902_0.patch. 

Changes I recall doing
=========================
 * Updating roller plugins from Geronimo 2.0-SNAPSHOT to Geronimo 2.0.1.
 * Changing the version schema of the plugins to <plugin module version>(-SNAPSHOT) and adding geronimo and roller version information to the geronimo-plugin description.    
 * Removing dependency of the roller-war plugin module and updating the roller-weblogger war by using the 4.0_rc1 version via local maven repo. See additional information on building and installing the roller weblogger artifact below. 
 * Updating the plugins parent version accordingly (org.apache.geronimo.genesis.config/project-config/1.2)
 * Setting <property name="openjpa.QueryCompilationCache" value="false"/> I am not sure this is needed (and it is likely a performance damper) but during my work on the roller maven build system (jira ROL-1537) I got rid of a random exception that bugged me wile adding and testing out the mvn jetty:run-war on roller-weblogger.war by setting it.  
 * Could not get the DatabaseInitializationGBean to work properly, switched to rollers auto install by setting installation.type=auto in roller-custom.properties
 * Updating the geronimo-plugins.xml file to reflect the new version.
 * Updating the README file with up to date installation instructions. 
 * Some general cleanup.

 
Local maven roller-weblogger.war
================================
 For now (as long as no official roller maven artifacts are available) I found this to be the most useful way of handling the weblogger.
 Check out the svn 4.0_rc1 tag found at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/tags/roller_4.0_rc1/ patch it with the roller_maven_ant_task_070902_0.patch (it's a small maven patch to the ant build included in this jira) and run 'ant mvn-install'. Observe that you need to download and install the maven-ant-task jar from here http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/maven-ant-tasks-2.0.7.jar and place it in <roller_4.0_rc1>/tools/buildtime/maven/. Some of this information can also be fond in the README file in the plugin root.
 
Known Caveats
============= 
 * uninstall of roller plugins leaves the roller-<database>-resources files present in geronimo/repostory and it will not be overwritten/replaced by a new one unless you manually delete it or change the version. This can be a bit annoying and cause some confusion during work on the plugins.       
 * maven install from root directory dose not work the first time around (from a clean local repository) you have to install the modules one by one.

> Have been working on getting Apache Roller running under Geronimo I finally got to the point where the roller application seems to be running smoothly in Geronimo v1.2 (current snapshot). It would be great to eventually see this application as a plugin in G so here are pointers to resources and attached plans.
> Apache Roller v3.1 Resources (soon to be released)
> Apache roller home: http://rollerweblogger.org/project/
> The bundle: http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/apache-roller-3.1/ (until it will be available directly via roller home)
> Required jars: https://roller.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?expandFolder=6959&folderID=0
> Path to database create scripts can be found in the bundle above under: apache-roller-3.1/webapp/roller/WEB-INF/dbscripts/
> I have tested with the derby database and mysql 5. 
> There is currently a issue with G v1.2 and hibernates v3.1 (used by roller 3.1) property loader that gets a
>  
> FATAL [HibernateRollerImpl] Error initializing Hibernate
> java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.HashSet
>         at org.hibernate.util.PropertiesHelper.resolvePlaceHolders(PropertiesHelper.java:88)   
> Hibernate is expecting a String value (This issue is fixed in hibernate 3.2 with a instanceOf check)
> Fortunately David Jencks hit this problem in trunk and suggested turning off the activemq and activemq-broker modules in config.xml, to test things out, and after that everything was running smothly :).
