support about JSVC

[Darko Hojnik <ho...@virtualizing.org>]

Hi there,

I'm thinking about for a good strategy to integrate the new Apache DS on  
FreeBSD and maybe create a Port on the FreeBSD portstree.
Duos the M1 haves some classes to start it with the Apache JSVC daemon?  
Taniku on the 1.5.x brunch was a disaster. JSVC is awesome to start JAVA  
based applications on privileged ports on Unix or Linux. I do it with  
Jboss 5.1 Tomcat 6.x and Apache James 3. And where I could set the path  
for stored data? Also TLS certificates could be handled with keytool?

By the way. When comes the Apache DS Studio 2.0? Will it get support to  
creates templates for recurring tasks?

best regards
Darko

No. 
A long time ago, I think JSVC was used. But it has been replaced with Tanuki for about 4 years now.

You can probably have a look at the following projects:
- apacheds-service
- apacheds-wrapper

These projects contains all the code to start/stop ApacheDS as a service. The Tanuki service wrapper implementation is separate and you could probably get some inspiration to port it to JSVC.

What was the problem?
Tanuki is still used on the milestones releases of ApacheDS (2.0.0-M1). Any issue with this version too?

It could be interesting to evaluate JSVC as a replacement for Tanuki.
Especially now that we're stuck at a given version (due to a licensing change, not being compatible with the Apache License) and this version is no longer maintained.

Please have a look at the two projects I mentioned above.

Yeah, I guess so.
You will then need to insert them in the server configuration via an LDIF import or directly editing entries with Studio.

We're still working on it. There's no ETA at the moment, but, probably later this year...

Can you elaborate more on this?
