[jira] [Comment Edited] (WW-4793) Don't add JBossFileManager as a possible FileManager when not on JBoss

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4793?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16009461#comment-16009461 ]

I thought about throwing away that whole FileManager thing as it's only needed in development phase, and instead develop a plugin that can be used during development which will have reloadable implementations of the beans. Another idea is to use commons-io or something to not bother with supporting your own FileManager. My two cents

* How do you mean: {{It's only needed in development phase}} 
  Does that mean it's only used for reloading configurations and the application doesn't need it for initial startup and configuration loading?
* for your other suggestions, if you could point me in the right direction, i wouldn't mind taking a look into them, however i think that's going to be a large modification.
** a plugin for reloadable bean implementations
** using commons-io 

For a small modifications i was thinking about one of the following:
* adding a Field Boolean to JBossFileManager so it only checks once:
** code change
{code:java}
...
public class JBossFileManager extends DefaultFileManager {
    ...
    private Boolean supports;
    ...
    @Override
    public boolean support() {
        if (supports == null) { 
            supports= isJBoss7() || isJBoss5();

            if (supports) {
                LOG.debug("JBoss server detected, Struts 2 will use [{}] to support file system operations!", JBossFileManager.class.getSimpleName());
            }
        }

        return supports;
    }
   ...
{code}
** upside: class lookups only happen once
** downside: unboxing of boolean each check
* as sugested, storing the FileManager in the DefaultFileManager
{code}
...
public class DefaultFileManagerFactory implements FileManagerFactory {
    ...
    private FileManager fileManager
    ...
    public FileManager getFileManager() {
        if (fileManager == null) {
            fileManager = lookupFileManager();

            if (fileManager != null) {
                LOG.debug("Using FileManager implementation [{}]", fileManager.getClass().getSimpleName());
            } else {
                fileManager = systemFileManager;
                LOG.debug("Using default implementation of FileManager provided under name [system]: {}", systemFileManager.getClass().getSimpleName());
            }

            fileManager.setReloadingConfigs(reloadingConfigs);
        }


        return fileManager;
    }
    ...
{code}

I'd like to know your thoughts on this. (and the things i'm missing, especially concerning multithreading, as i'm not an expert there)

>             Project: Struts 2
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Core
>    Affects Versions: 2.5.10
>            Reporter: Stefaan Dutry
>            Priority: Trivial
>             Fix For: 2.5.next
>
>
> When the application starts and there is no FileManager specified as initParam, the {{JBossFileManager}} gets added.
> This results in the check happening everytime a FileManager is requested.
> (When turning on logging, i can see it happening 12 times when starting a simple application)
> {code:java|title=org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher}
> ...
>     private void init_FileManager() throws ClassNotFoundException {
>         if (initParams.containsKey(StrutsConstants.STRUTS_FILE_MANAGER)) {
>             ...
>         } else {
>             // add any other Struts 2 provided implementations of FileManager
>             configurationManager.addContainerProvider(new FileManagerProvider(JBossFileManager.class, "jboss"));
>         }
>         ...
>     }
> ...
> {code}
> {code:java|title=com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.fs.DefaultFileManagerFactory}
>     private FileManager lookupFileManager() {
>         Set<String> names = container.getInstanceNames(FileManager.class);
>         ...
>         for (FileManager fm : internals) {
>             if (fm.support()) {
>                 return fm;
>             }
>         }
>         return null;
>     }
> {code}
> My suggestion would be to not add it if it's not supported.
> I don't know what the best way to do this would be.
> The possibility i was thinking of so far involves the following:
> * Creating a seperate utility class to check if it can support it 
> ** perhaps a public static innerclass of {{JBossFileManager}} with public static method(s) to check it?
> ** or a seperate class (although i think this might be awkward) 
> * adding a test around adding the JBossFileManager to only do it when it could be supported.
> additional information:
> * log messages were noticed by adjusting the log4j2 configuration in the {{form-processing}} application from {{struts-examples}} and starting it.
