Adding framework scripts to bundle
Hi,
Can we add framework scripts like startNetworkto bundle available for
download ?
The bundles only packages the derby jars, adding these scripts can be a
useful thing for developers.
Is there a plan to do so ?
thanks,
Amit

Yes, that would be worth checking out, since it even has its own
jakarta commons project:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/daemon/

Apache Tomcat also uses something but I don't recall what it is - might
be worth checking out.

If you would like to see this functionality added, please add a JIRA
entry for it. The easiest way to do this would be to provide a
registry key file for Derby Network Server and provide instructions on
how to install it as a Windows service using instsrv and srvany.
However, we obviously can't redistribute those two utilities, but it
would be nice to provide all the parts to the solution. So, a little
searching turned up this public domain srvany replacement:

I haven't tried it, but I suggest trying it out to see how well it
works.
Cheers,
andrew

Yes that would be a good idea.
I will look at two things
1. Adding derby sripts to derby bundles
2. Starting derby network server as a service
Do we need a Jira for this ?
thanks,
Amit

Actually, I've been planning on putting together an updated snapshot
for a couple of weeks now, one that includes the frameworks scripts
and the demos as well. Also, once I've had a chance to check in the
recent fix for the Eclipse plugin, the Eclipse plugin that is
currently posted should probably be updated as well. So, it seems
there is good reason all around to update the snapshots we have
available on the web.
But, see also here:
http://mail-archives.eu.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-dev/200502.mbox/%3c421CFA7C.4070500@Golux.Com%3e
and here:
http://mail-archives.eu.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-dev/200502.mbox/%3c421F1D56.8000302@sbcglobal.net%3e
So maybe we should be putting a little more thought into what goes
into these snapshots. Perhaps we should be bumping the fourth part of
the version after each bug fix that goes in. Does that mean that we
need to go through the full release process each time? Or, since we
know that there has been such small, well-known sets of changes going
into the branches, is it maybe possible to do a more lightweight
release process for these small bug fix releases? It would require a
little more effort in documenting the changes and keeping the related
documentation in the branch (CHANGES, etc.) up to date, but it's worth
the effort, and I would be willing to help out with that.
Anyway, I'm planning on merging the demo changes from the trunk over
to the branch shortly and I would also like to get a new snapshot
posted and I will be glad to help out with whatever work is involved
to do that. But, I'm not sure that we should just throw another
snapshot up on the website. There are clearly some issues with
versioning and being able to differentiate between snapshots that
should be discussed, so if anyone has any comments, concerns, or
suggestions about a better process for posting snapshots to the
website, please post them.
Thanks,
andrew

I also think they are useful. Some of these scripts are present in the
derby source download, though they could be improved. It would be nice
to be able to start Derby Network server as a service in Windows, for
example. Any volunteers? :-)
