Hey all,
I'm looking at improving the SwitchYard's WTP integration. Currently, the SY
facet requires a JEE facet, which, with a little shim for utlity modules, allows
deployment of any project with SY capabilities. That basically means a project with SY
capabilities can be deployed to any JEE server. I would like to narrow the list of
servers to those which actually have the SY components installed. (Although,
theoretically, since a SY project is a JEE artifact, it could be deployed to any JEE
server, so long as the SY runtime is packaged with it; there's even a quickstart
illustrating this.)
Two problems here:
1) No way you can make a failsafe way to detect this so this should just be something
users get *warned* about - not *error*'ed.
2) Eclipse Facet's doesn't allow such graduation - it either is ok or its not.
*annoying*
…which is why we never really pushed hard on this.
I've spent a day or so trying to navigate the plethora of WTP
extension points and haven't been able to figure out which way to go. I was assuming
a "RuntimeComponentType" was the way to go, but haven't been able to see how
anything I register would actually be picked up by an existing runtime.
Any thoughts? Experiences to share?
I think the one that does most of this is the jboss portal stuff - look in that module.
