Hi Devs,
The other feature is a frequently requested one
(auto-strart) and
admins
are having a hard time without this feature :)
There is a slight change of approach towards implementing this
feature. Due
to some technical limitations it seems like we cannot start the
openoffice
server when XE is started. But there is a better solution, we start
the
openoffice server when officeimporter component is loaded into the
memory
first time - this is done only if the autostart configuration option
is set.
Everything else remains the same.
I hope this is ok with you, any comments are welcome.
hmmm as a general comment I don't like it too much since it means the
user will have to wait more when doing the first import.
Actually it's not the first import that will start the openoffice server but
the first time the wiki is opened on browser. It seems like plexus loads all
the components when the user visits the wiki for the first time on browser.
I consider this a hack and not a better solution.
It should pretty easy to add a clean notion of container
initialization using components (in xwiki-containers). Right now
there's already the notion of Request init and Execution context init.
Note also that in XWiki.java there's already the
notion of
initialization (the variable "initdone" is put in the XWiki Context).
Well, I could directly load openoffice server manager component upon
container initialization (DefaultServletContainerInitializer) and start the
openoffice server. But we don't want openoffice server manipulation code
inside DefaultServletContainerInitializer, that's why we wanted to go with
ObservationManager. But then came the problem of loading openoffice server
manager at startup (otherwise it will not receive startup notifications). I
can't think of a working acceptable solution that will allow me to load the
openoffice server manager component at startup..
Thanks.
