[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Clustering on JBoss (Clusters/JBoss)] - Breaking clustering code out of the AS

[bstansberry@jboss.com]

Looking for input on repository naming conventions.

To help support Remoting and Messaging, I'm looking to extract some of the common usage clustering code out of AS cluster module into a separate project so it can produce a binary independent of the AS  (see http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCLUSTER-135).

I'm thinking this will probably produce 2 binaries -- a "ha-client.jar" with the client-side classes (load balance policies, FamilyClusterInfo, etc) and server-side jar with whatever server-side elements I need for Messaging.  The client-side jar is intended to be as lightweight as possible for use by Remoting. Wouldn't be surprised if the client-side stuff ends up in Remoting itself someday.

I'm planning to put this in SVN and use Maven2 for the build. I've got that working for the ha-client.jar; trivial to do by copying from the jboss common project.

I want to get this checked in so Remoting guys can use a snapshot of the client-side stuff.  

Here's what I'm thinking for the client-side stuff:

SVN:

https://svn.jboss.org/repos/cluster/ha-client/trunk

An alternative is https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/cluster/ha-client/trunk but I'm not clear on what the "jbossas/projects" namespace is meant to mean.

When any server-side stuff is ready it would go in another subproject(s) at the same level as ha-client, e.g. 
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/cluster/ha-server/trunk

Thirdparty repository (initially):

repository.jboss.com/jboss/cluster/ha-client/snapshot/lib/jboss-ha-client.jar

Maven repository (when needed):

repository.jboss.com/maven2/jboss/cluster/ha-client/0.1/jboss-ha-client-0.1.jar

An alternative to the use of "cluster" in the above name is "ha", but

1) in labs and JIRA there is already a JBoss Cluster project, so using the same name is clearer.
2) Clustering deals with both scalability and HA.

Perhaps I should change ha-client.jar etc. to cluster-client.jar; it just seemed too long.

Thoughts?
