Summary: StarTeam tasks do not identify themselves as a
particular application
Product: Ant
Version: 1.7Alpha (nightly)
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Optional SCM tasks
AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: jesse.greenwald@gmail.com
Currently, the StarTeam tasks do not identify themselves as a particular
application when connecting to the StarTeam server. This can make it more
difficult to track down troublesome clients as they are not identified in the
server logs.
The fix is to call com.starbase.starteam.ClientApplication.setName(String) with
some meaningful value which uniquely identifies the client application.

A proposed solution.
Here is a proposed solution which uses "ant-starteam" by default. This value
can be overriden by specifing an "applicationname" attribute.

The main problem with this change is that the ClientApplication class was added
in StarTeam SDK 6.0 - currently the Ant tasks support StarTeam SDK 4.2 and above
(as does CruiseControl and even then the code using classes added in 4.2 is
clearly marked so that a 4.0 user can remove and compile).
Can't you track the clients in the server log by hostname which is captured?

I think it should build. No symbols would need to be used that aren't present
in the 4.0 SDK. The 'ClientApplication' class would be loaded via reflection
with Class.forName(). The method would be fetched from the class using
getMethod(). The method would then be invoked by calling invoke() on the Method
object.
In the event that the class is not found, a ClassNotFound exception would be
thrown. In the event that the method is not found, a NoSuchMethod exception
would be thrown. If these exceptions are properly caught, the feature the build
could continue whether or not ClientApplication.setName() is available.

The hostname is not enough to definitively identify to client that was used for
the checkout. One user may be using multiple tools to connect to the
repository: the GUI client, the command line client, the Eclipse client, the Ant
client, or some other custom tool. It is important for us to be able to quickly
identify the tool being used in order to fix the problem.
I am curious why the dependency is being held at the 4.0 StarTeam SDK. Is the
6.0 SDK unable to connect to older servers or is it not possible for 4.0 users
to get the 6.0 SDK? Or is there some other reason?
Regardless, another possible solution would be to use reflection to access the
class and method. If the new SDK is available, the method would be called. If
not, the call would be skipped over. The code would still compile when
compiling against the older SDK.
Thanks,
Jesse

Yeah, that would work. Seems a little complex, but it would be a necesary evil
to keep support for SDK versions prior to 6.0 - should we though?
I for one am all for dropping support of SDK versions prior to 6.0, as Borland
already has (see
http://support.borland.com/entry.jspa?externalID=139&categoryID=47). In fact,
evern 6.0 is no longer supporterd after October 31, 2006.
There would need to be some sort of polling of the StarTeam/Ant community for
this type of decission I assume.

Well, I don't really mind if support for pre-6.0 SDKs are dropped or not as long
as there is some fix for this bug ;).
I'm not involved in the licensing issues with our StarTeam server, so I don't
know how people are expected to respond to new releases of it. Are companies
allowed free upgrades to new versions of StarTeam, or is that not included in
their support contract? Do companies generally stay up to date with new
releases of StarTeam even if they can upgrade for free? Knowing the answers to
these questions may help in deciding whether or not to drop support for older
versions.
As for polling the community, I wouldn't really know how to handle that either -
this is my first attempted contribution to the project ;). Perhaps sending a
post to the ant-user mailing list and seeing if anyone responds would be a good
first step.

You are correct in your thoughts; the SDK must match the server version or you
get a nasty exception (there is sometimes a little leeway like when using a 6.0
SDK with a 5.2 server, but even then calls to newer objects will fail). A
reflection based solution would allow pre-comppiled code to run on older SDKs,
but will not build with older SDKs.
