[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2695) Package APR native libraries correctly

[Mladen Turk (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2695?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12650795#comment-12650795 ] 

Mladen Turk commented on AS7-2695:
----------------------------------

Well, since everybody seems to be 'module' oriented
why not creating a separate module for all native components

a. Native component can be loaded only once per VM
b. In that case they could be shared among different modules
c. It would solve module redeployment cause they would
   be loaded by parent class loader.
d. User could safely deploy his native component into
   that module and be sure it'll be loaded by a correct
   classloader

> 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
