David Lloyd commented on AS7-2695:
----------------------------------
Because the user then doesn't have to do any setup or configuration of system
properties or environment variables. All native code will automatically be loaded using a
single standard layout. And we can have a single distribution which covers all platforms
without special configuration steps. Either the library is there and it's loaded, or
it's not and it's skipped. And this same approach works for all other native code
too.
Package APR native libraries correctly

Key: AS7-2695
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2695
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Task
Components: Web
Reporter: David Lloyd
Assignee: Remy Maucherat
Fix For: 7.1.0.Final
Attachments: jbossweb-native.jar.jar
The APR libraries for native jbossweb should be packaged in the "lib" directory
of the module under the platform specific name, e.g.
* {{lib/linux-i686/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/linux-x86_64/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/solaris-sparc/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/solaris-sparcv9/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/solaris-i686/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/solaris-x68_64/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/macosx-i686/libxxxx.sl}}
* {{lib/macosx-x86_64/libxxxx.sl}}
For the case where you need to vary the library based on the Solaris version, you have
two options:
* (best solution) rework the library to use weak symbols and/or libc probes and/or system
call error detection, to detect features which are present and absent and adjust at
runtime
* Introduce more than one library in each of the solaris-xxx directories with the version
suffix, e.g. libnative-2.8.so or similar and check for solaris at load time, and if
solaris, choose the library with the version encoded in the name
