Custom partition deployment process
|
|
| MartinZaidel-1I9K1FznhJHvnOemgxGiVw@public.gma 2006-03-22, 2:45 am |
| I've developed a custom partition for Apache directory server, which I'm
trying to deploy with the 1.0-RC1 distribution. I've taken the naive
approach of just copying my jars to $INSTALL_DIR/lib/ext and my
configuration files to $INSTALL_DIR/conf. And it *almost* works---the
logging configuation fails due to a classpath problem (I'm using a custom
log4j appender class).
Is there any documentation on how to deploy custom code to the standard
distribution package (ie., using bin/apacheds.exe and not maven or ant)?
Thanks,
Martin

Sorry, I wasn't clear: I'm trying to run Directory Server standalone (not
embedded), using the Daemon bootstrappers via the apacheds executable in
$INSTALL_DIR/bin. That is, the server will be kicked off from
/etc/init.d/apacheds (ie., not via the command-line using maven). On a
lark---since it seemed like the right thing to do---I installed my custom
directory partition classes in jar files in $INSTALL_DIR/lib/ext and the
server configuration files into $INSTALL_DIR/conf. And the good news is
that the server *appears* to be configured correctly (at least no
ClassNotFoundExceptions for the directory partition classes in the server
logs with debugging turned up.)
The problem I have is that my log4j.properties file references a Log4J SNMP
appender (built on top of opennms---also in $INSTALL_DIR/lib/ext, if you're
keeping score at home) whose class is in my jar file (in
$INSTALL_DIR/lib/ext): that is, it appears that the classloader shuffling
by the daemon bootstrapping classes has the consequence of disconnecting
the log4j LogFactory class from the appender in my jar file.
I'm trying to find documentation/help on how to package/deploy the appender
so that log4j is properly configured. That is, what the apacheds
executable does via classloaders and not on how to implement a custom
partition.
Thanks again.

Ooops this is not enabled yet sorry. Try just putting it into the lib
directory and it should get picked up.

Sounds complicated ... again I don't know how this is getting picked
up. Try dropping your jars into the lib directory for now disregard the
ext directory. Sorry about the confusion but I did not have time to rig
it yet. Give that a try and call me in the morning.
Good luck,
Alex

| FYI,
I fixed this by splitting my classes into two jars: one for the directory
partition (in $INSTALL_DIR/lib) and one for the logging appender classes.
I then added the logging appender jar (plus opennms.jar) to the CLASSPATH
in /etc/init.d/apacheds (well, actually /etc/sysconfig/apacheds).
