The ABCs of workspace organization [message #916110]

I've downloaded eclipse-orion-1.0M1-linux.gtk and have installed it locally. Everything seems to work, including Git cloning of repositories.

The challenge is that the directory names on disk do not match the names of the repositories. Instead of seeing {workspace}/org, and {workspace}/eclipse.org-common, I'm seeing {workspace}/C and {workspace}/Q

What I need to be able to do is have the names of these folders match the names of the repositories, so that I can point my webserver at the root and test some PHP files locally. i.e., I need to point the DocRoot of my Apache server to {workspace}.

The files that I'm testing are PHP. A file from one repository, say org/index.php needs to import {serverRoot}/eclipse.org-common/classes/App.class.php. Sometimes we access using relative urls (e.g. ../eclipse.org/common/classes/App.class.php).

Is there a setting that will make this happen?

Thanks,

Wayne

In a word, "no". The Orion server is designed to be multi-user, so using actually project names on disk would inevitably result in collisions between users. This isn't my area of expertise, but I think you need to be using org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI, so that the PHP processing is operating on the files as served up by jetty rather than a particular disk layout. Gunnar suggested this in a bug or mailing list discussion that I am now failing to track down. I suggest entering a bug if there isn't one already, and CC Gunnar and Simon Kaegi.

The quick and dirty solution seems to be to create link to the directory
with the required name. For our purposes, this is all that we need to
make this work with a local installation of Orion.

This will be a bigger issue to solve when we try to make a shared Orion
install for this sort of thing.

FWIW, I tried setting Orion to the 'tree' layout figuring that maybe
that might work (of course, if that would have worked, you would have
suggested it, right?).
