Applications migration

Hi all,
I have been working on some migration documents for porting applications 
running on other application servers (just JBoss so far) to Geronimo.

I am trying to show how to migrate applications by separating the 
docs/topics into different the different features/technologies such as 
JDBC, EJBs (CMP, BMP, MDB, Session beans), Web services, JCA, security, 
etc. My intention is to make this list as complete as possible.

What do you guys think about creating a new "Migration" category under 
the "Documents" section in the Wiki.

Cheers !

Absolutely. I am planning to cover WebLogic next as well as providing 
some tools to automate the migrations.

Definitely!  Pretty incredible.

I tweaked the page a bit to use {code} and {code:xml} in the  
respective places so the syntax highlighting kicks in.  Let me know  
if that's not cool and I'll switch it back to {noformat}.

Nice work!

Hernan,

Looks good.  But your servlets article discusses the geronimo-jetty.xml 
which is deprecated and no longer valid.  You need to mention 
geronimo-web.xml instead.  Also, since you are discussing both Tomcat 
and Jetty, you may wish to mention how to choose a container.

Other than that...great job.

Migration articles

Posted by Hernan Cunico <hc...@gmail.com>.
Hi All,
I created a section in confluence to group all the migration documents. 
   I have to insist, confluence is way more user friendly than the 
Apache wiki, the the final look of the articles is better and the time 
for formating is not even half compared to wiki.

With that said, enough of wiki vs. confluence, and back to the migration 
articles, so far there are just two finished docs but the wish list is 
up to seven now. Here is the link to the migration section.

http://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/GERONIMO/Migrating+to+Apache+Geronimo

I would like to add a link in the Apache wiki, in the documentation 
section, to this articles. Adding this link will make the search for 
migration docs easier. What you guys think!?

I believe that the infrastructure guys asked Atlassian if they would  
host Apache wikis for us.  I think a few of us volenteered to help  
host it, but at the time infrastructure was overloaded brining the  
new machines on line.  Can you find out if they are willing to  
recosider?  Alternatively, we (geronimo) try could host it on a  
virtual domain on the new Sun box.

I personally think it is the best choice, because it allows the whole  
community to easily help each other.

> Any interest in using xdoc & transforms?

I'm not a fan of this approach.  We had that before with the pure  
maven site.

IIRC the ASF infrastructure team suggested using Atlassian and got  
everything arranged.

Definitely.  As before, I'm willing to do what it takes to make this

We had a short list of people who were willing to spend time on this  
when we voted on it the first time.  I think we even voted a second  
time, IIRC, which is just strange :)  Though I think we had more

No - I was trying to find out what compromise you believe you've

Can you forward the info about the compromise with infra?

Even if we can't do Confluence, I'm going to ask for two zones, one

So it looks like step one it to establish the Geronimo zone.

Geir can you ask infrastructure to create the Geronimo zone, and once  
they are done, you will need to create an account for me.

Also do any other committers want to help set this up (my unix skills

Don't have anything official for you.  We've talked about and voted  
on confluence so many times on this list my brain has lost ability to  
track the details.

IIRC, somewhere around this email is as official as it gets.

I kept bugging Jeff after that thread died.  At some point the ASF- 
only Confluence install got setup at Atlassian.  I assumed it was ASF  
blessed.

David,
"This is the compromise we reached"...Can you please send me the
message id's of the messages in question? I don't remember seeing this
on the infra mailing list.

Dain,
If you are bent on using confluence, can you please spearhead an
effort to set one up on our solaris zones. that way at least it would
be under ASF infra and all of us would do the lifting needed to
administer the thing w/o burdening the Infra folks.

thanks,
dims

Re: Confluence - again (was Re: Applications migration)

Posted by Hernan Cunico <hc...@gmail.com>.
Geir, have you noted how user-unfriendly the apache wiki is? with this 
wiki you are very limited with the formating. The wiki names are not 
easy either, try to talk about " ConnectionPoolDatasource", this wiki 
will automatically create a new page link for it.

I think it would be better to keep everything "local" but the local wiki 
needs some work then(i.e. update presentation/look&feel, formating tags, 
navigability, manage local attachments, etc.)

It takes a lot more time to format a simple article in wiki than 
confluence and still you will not get the same organization/structure 
you been looking for.

I prefer to have the articles out faster and with the best formating 
possible.

What you think it would be the best alternative for documentation?

Cheers!
Hernan

Yes, I beleive you're correct and I don't know if the binary
requirement will ever change. IIRC Sun's goal was to open source
select pieces of Solaris.

OpenSolaris is open, or will be, but

a) IIRC, not everything has been released as OSS yet - you still need  
a binary component.

b) That's not what we're running at the moment.

(I'd like to be wrong, but I don't think so...)

LOL.  I prefer JIRA, thanks :)

I have no idea why JIRA would be allowed and not Confluence based on  
that aspect.  Something to find out.

Re: Confluence - again (was Re: Applications migration)

What compromise are you talking about?  Please forward some info.   
I'm on infra and don't recall this.

My email got all out of whack because of that server move...  are we  
talking about setting up Conflluence here?  Or using it elswhere?

On the idea of using foreign infrastructure, I think this is a bad  
idea for this project.  The Apache Board takes a dim view of this,  
and I can think of a bunch of reasons why we don't want to do this.

On setting up here in a Solaris Zone here and running Confluence, I  
think that's better, but I have doubts that people will be happy with  
us running proprietary software here.  I'll see what infra thinks  
(unless someone already knows...)

This is an old debate.  Confluence is somewhat high maintenance and  
much of the infrastructure team remains unconvinced it's worth the  
trouble.  The first time this idea came up on the Geronimo dev lists,  
I kept in touch with the infrastructure guys that posted and emailed  
them every couple months about it.  This is the compromise we reached.

It's a confluence install hosted and maintained by the confluence  
guys solely for use by the ASF and administered by members of the  
ASF.  Seems to me to be an acceptable middle ground for now.

Humm... from discussions over on infrastructure I see Leo and Noel have some concerns about maintaining a 
confluence install on apache.org. Probably nothing that couldn't be solved by a few volunteers. If a case 
could be made to completely replace moin-moin and standardize on confluence, that'd be even better. Do you see 
the wiki as being the method of choice for Apache Geronimo doc delivery? Any interest in using xdoc & transforms?

Please don't send us down the path of hosting ASF project doc on non-ASF infrastructure. Nothing good can come 
from that exercise.

We have a confluence space if we want to start using it.  http:// 
opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/GERONIMO

Here is an example of what we could do with it   http://

I think the move to confluence is an excellent idea and we should 
definitely start discussing this. Looking at the current wiki, I think 
there is a lot of great but unorganized information.  Since M5 has now 
been released we expect and enormous growth in "users" and so I think we 
are are now at a point where it would be good to start focusing on the 
organization and presentation of the wiki and the move to confluence 
would be a good starting point to be able to do so.

I think this is a good idea.

I think we should discuss if we want to move to confluence as our wiki 
before you spend a lot of effort formatting stuff for the current wiki. 
  I am now sufficiently frustrated with login problems to the current 
wiki that I would support a move to confluence.

thanks

This sounds great.

I also think it would be neat to create a few dirt-simple migration
tools.  For example, imagine running:

   bin/import.sh --weblogic-home /usr/local/wl81

or

   bin/import.sh --jboss-home /usr/local/jboss4

and having it copy as much of the configuration as it could (port
numbers, JAAS config, JMS destinations, data sources, etc.).  Wouldn't
have to be perfect -- just good enough to save time and verbose enough
to let you know exactly what it did so that you could handle the rest.

Cheers,
Erin
