Re: Re: Barracuda in Eclipse with Barracuda update

Hello Garth,

Thanks for providing instructions for building Barracuda apps in
Eclipse.  Working with Barracuda in IDE's is pretty important for
acceptance of Barracuda.  I have a few comments on some of the changes
you made to get this....

Changes
-------
- events.xml and build.xml
  I chewed up the orginal ant build.xml file cause it was too much for my simple mind to grasp. The 
  condensed version has one job which I can't figure out how to make Eclipse do by itself - that is to call 
  org.enhydra.barracuda.taskdefs.EventBuilder building a bunch of event classes 
  from /src/org/enhydra/barracuda/contrib/dbroggisch/examples/controller/events/events.xml
  and create classes...  

There must be a way to get Eclipse to just run the current build as-is, although I've made no attempt to try this.

- /src_mockups/examples
  edited FileUpload.xmlc, PrefixMapping.xmlc, and Repopulation.xmlc so that they include -ssi
  and implement NavigationHTML class

They already implement the NavigationHTML and the ssi stuff, in the original build, is done via <copyrepl ssi="true">.
However, maybe the more appropriate place for the ssi stuff is in each .xmlc file?  Not sure what is more reasonable?


- web.xml was edited to make it run in Websphere (servlet 2.2 spec)

I saw you created a separate copy for websphere.  However, the
sample.web.xml must be left over from a previous version
because the <listener> calss for logging initialization should be org.apache.log4j.servlet.InitContextListner instead
of the Log4jApplicationWatch.


- copyed cos.jar, log4j-1.2.7a.jar to /web/WEB-INF/lib so webapp can load 
without having to have copies in ${TOMCAT_HOME}/common/lib

Note that Log4j-1.2.8 just came out today.  I'll be updating the build account for that sometime tonight.  I will also
also probably not point to jars in Tomcat's shared classloader directories for the build to make things easier and more
portable.  I already updated the contrib apps up on barracudamvc.org
to work like that.


I would be nice to get to a point where there is seamless integration
with Eclipse with few, if any, changes to the build.
