+1 on different package and different jar.

Remaining work on this would be packaging and location of stuff.
This is the kind of structure I have in mind right now:
[JBC-SOURCE-ROOT]
+ migration
+ src
+ o.j.c.migration.TransformingJDBCCacheLoader
+ o.j.c.migration.TransformingFileCacheLoader
+ o.j.c.migration.LegacyJDBCCacheLoader (JDBCCacheLoaderOld)
+ lib
+ jboss-minimal.jar (from 1.4.x)
+ tests (UT)
+ o.j.c.migration.TransformingCacheLoaderTestBase
+ o.j.c.migration.TransformingFileCacheLoaderTest
+ o.j.c.migration.TransformingJDBCCacheLoaderTest
+ output
// compilation of src and tests
+ dist
// jarjar jboss-minimal.jar and include 3 source files compiled?
+ examples
+ cacheloader-migration
+ data
+ filecacheloader-1x.zip
+ jbossdb-1x.zip
+ resources
+ original-fcl-service.xml (sample original FCL XML)
+ original-jdbccl-service.xml (sample original JDBCCL XML)
+ transform-fcl-service.xml (mod of original to transform)
+ transform-jdbccl-service.xml (mod of original to
transform)
+ src
+ examples.TransformStore
// starts a cache with transform*.xml, loops through it
and
// writes back into cache. It then stops this cache
instance
// and starts a new one with original*.xml and tries to
read
// all nodes in the cache.
// NOTE: TransformStore would javadoc instructions to get
// examples running, for example, where to unzip data
// to,...etc}
We could add a task to build.xml to run the migration unit tests.
Another task would create a dist jar potentially jarjaring jboss-
minimal.jar and 3 migration compiled classes? what name should we
give to this jar?
cacheloader-migration.jar?
Please, feel free to comment on naming, the structure above...etc :)
Not too happy with a "migration" directory in the root. But then
again, I can't think of a better place for this. Ideally, we would
have src/main/ and src/migration/ and src/whatever-else but I don't
want to move all that around too much now.
Apart from this, I'd have to add some documentation too.
In the CacheLoader chapterof the UserGuide as well as the FAQs, yes.
The FAQ could just point to the migration section in the CacheLoader
chapter of the UserGuide...
