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

[David Lloyd (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2695?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12644977#comment-12644977 ] 

David Lloyd commented on AS7-2695:
----------------------------------

Also this error message is basically wrong:

{noformat}
22:53:34,678 INFO  [org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener] (MSC service thread 1-6) The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: .:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java
{noformat}

since the library doesn't actually *have* to be on java.library.path.

> 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
