[jira] Created: (JSPWIKI-179) JSPWiki executable with embedded Jetty or Tomcat

JSPWiki executable with embedded Jetty or Tomcat
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JSPWIKI-179
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-179
             Project: JSPWiki
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Jason Yip
            Priority: Minor


Just thinking that it would be nice to have a JSPWiki download that works on its own without needing to download a servlet engine separately.

Yes, I took a look at it, but Sling is not exactly a wiki.  It's  
pretty much a platform over JCR; a collection of rendering engines  
over JCR content, if you will.

It is not impossible (you would  turn the JSPWiki WikiEngine into a  
plugin for Sling, just like any other embedder), but I'm not sure  
whether that's really useful.  Or at least I can't really think of a  
strong usecase :-)

We are, though, moving to the same kind of direction in 3.0, but  
we'll be far more wiki-specific.  There might be some interesting  
techniques or bits of code we could lift from Sling, tho'...

Thanks Jim,

Janne has been working on a content repository backend for 3.0 that
is already in SVN. I'd be interested to know how difficult it would
be to use Sling as an alternative to the planned 3.0 backend, which
would take the load off of us (or Janne particularly) in doing that
work. If Sling looks solid I might be interested in working with it
since I'll be needing a JSR-170 style backend for JSPWiki sometime
in the next year or so. It'd be nice not to have to reinvent too
many wheels.

Thanks for the reference -- seems there's so much going on at Apache
lately it's hard to keep track. I just found out about Tika today.

Another one that has embedded Jetty (based on Maven and OSGi to boot) is 
Sling.

Sling is actually the architecture that I wanted when I started using 
JSPWiki.  It is a Wiki served by a general document repository 
supporting WebDAV access and a Java module system.  I will probably be 
switching to it before too long.

http://incubator.apache.org/sling/site/index.html

A slightly interesting thought (although not useful for me) is whether 
JSPWiki JSPs and plugins could be made to work in Sling.

As it happens, we already bundle part of Jetty with Selenium.

I have been fooling around with creating an easy way to use Jetty for  
web unit testing for a while; however, I've been bedeviled by some  
runtime bugs that I haven't had time to fix yet...

Yes, bundling Jetty or something which could just be installed e..g  
as a DMG or something else...

Is this necessary? I've been downloading, building a war, and dropping
the result into a webapps directory run under Jetty for years now and
I've not needed to do anything special except modify jspwiki.properties.

What extra work is considered here? Actually bundling Jetty as a
executable?

James P. White commented on JSPWIKI-179:
----------------------------------------

This is one of things I've been planning to do for a long while as part of a better packaging system for many Java applications, not just JSPWiki.  One form is AntAnywhere which will take any Ant script and package it as a JNLP (JavaWebStart).  Using Apache Ivy Ant tasks is supported.

http://www.ifcx.org/wiki/AntAnywhere.html

Since I'm still starting Tomcat on the command line on my Mac (and just got through doing that again and updating my JSPWiki backups), there's a decent change I may do something on this fairly soon.
