Hi devs,
I finished a maven build for XWiki+GlassFish+derby distribution.
I think Thomas forgot to mention the reason he did this :)
The idea is that the Glassfish project planning a big launch of GF v3
and if we provide this distribution then XWiki will be a partner of
the launch thus making advertising for XWiki. This is good for us.
In addition this ties nicely to the mail I sent about a default
distribution that could also run in production (see http://tinyurl.com/599sl5)
. I suggested using Jetty (I still think we should do this for the
default one).
Last Thomas noticed a speed increase with GF+Derby. We need to conduct
more tests. At the very minimum the first page loads immediatly I
believe which is good. Dunno if it's thanks to GF or Derby though.
So this means a distribution not based on jetty and we
can't use
database profile to decide what distribution to build anymore.
So I propose:
1) havnig distributions like jetty-hsqldb, glassfish-derby, etc. and
to remove distribution we are not releasing/using right now on XE/XEM
like hsqldb-pgsql, hsqldb-derby etc.
On maven build this means that to build XE glassfish-derby you will
need to execute:
- on XE parent : mvn install -Pci,derby,glassfish-derby
- on the distribution : mvn install
Why do you need to mvn install the distribution if you specify the
profiles in XE top level dir?
Also I think we need to work more on the profiles so that we don't
need to specify both "derby" and "glassfish-derby". Ideally we would
only need to run:
mvn clean install -Pglassfish,derby
Not sure if it's doable or not but I think it might be possible.
This will change all distributions ids but I don't
think it's a
problem.
(since there would now be the container name in the artifact)
2) jetty-hsqldb remain the default distribution for
now
Here is my +1 for both
+1
Thanks
