[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBTIS-171) Don't override other connectors in discovery.xml

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTIS-171?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Nick Boldt commented on JBTIS-171: ---------------------------------- I think the problem is that I don't define "generating a new pair of composite*.xml files" as "a rebuild of JBDSIS", but rather a simple exercise that anyone could do. Here's a sample of those 2 files: http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/discovery/integration/integration-s... http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/discovery/integration/integration-s... Also, if you wanted to test JBDSIS 7.0.0.Beta2 against JBDS 7.1.0.Alpha1, with your solution, would require 4 runtime parameters: -Djboss.is-discovery.directory.url=http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/discovery/integration/integration-stack/7.0.0.Beta2/devstudio-integration-stack-directory.xml -Djboss.is-discovery.site.url=http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/discovery/integration/integration-stack/7.0.0.Beta2/ -Djboss.discovery.directory.url=http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/discovery/development/7.1.0.Alpha1/devstudio-integration-stack-directory.xml -Djboss.discovery.site.url=http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/discovery/development/7.1.0.Alpha1/ *BUT WAIT!* How does Central know to look in TWO different directory.xml files? Answer: It doesn't. It can't. It can only see one jboss.discovery.directory.url - either the default one set in the Examples plugin in JBT, or the value set in jbdevstudio.ini (or eclipse.ini), or the value you pass in via commandline override. So, to support the notion of feeding in content from more than one place (ie., the Core and IS plugins), we have a generated/merged JBDSIS directory.xml file, which references both JBDS IS and JBDS Core content in a single xml file: {code:title=http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/discovery/integration/integration-stack/7.0.0.Beta2/devstudio-integration-stack-directory.xml} <entry url="https://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/7.0/discovery/com.jboss.jbd... permitCategories="true"/> <entry url="com.jboss.jbds.central.discovery.integration-stack_7.0.0.Beta2.CI-2013-09-14_08-04-55-B34-v20130914-0804-B34.jar" permitCategories="true"/> {code} So how do you tell JBDS 7.0 to read the combination of [JBDS 7.1 discovery plugin + JBDS IS 7.0 discovery plugin]? You generate a new .xml file which lists these: {code} <entry url="http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/discovery/development/7.1... permitCategories="true"/> <entry url="com.jboss.jbds.central.discovery.integration-stack_7.0.0.Beta2.CI-2013-09-14_08-04-55-B34-v20130914-0804-B34.jar" permitCategories="true"/> {code} And how do you generate that? Well, you run this build: https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/JBDSIS-aggregate-disc/ If you have a better way that "just regenerate the XML files", I'm happy to hear it, but I don't think your solution is a complete one. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
