[platform-help-dev] help 2.0.x vs. help 2.1?
|
Esteemed Help Developers:
We're using InfoCenter Help in a web application and trying to assess
issues of migrating from 2.0.x to 2.1:
1) Has anyone done any performance comparisons between the 2.0 and 2.1
InfoCenter architectures (where a public web server such as WebSphere
Application Server Express proxies requests to the internal Eclipse Tomcat
web server)?
Also, any comparisons on resource consumption (both while serving help
pages and while waiting for help requests)?
If numbers aren't available, informed insights into these issues would
be very useful.
For instance:
* memory footprint?
* CPU utilization?
* page service time?
* other?
As a load estimate, we could assume that one of the application users
will make 2 help requests per minute on average (though their expertise
will, of course, change the estimate).
2) For tracing and message logging, the web application and InfoCenter
share the logfile of the public web server in the 2.0 architecture.
In the 2.1 architecture, is it possible to turn on logging for the
internal Tomcat web server? Is it correct to say that the proxied help
requests will create two log entries, one in the public web server's log
and one in the internal Tomcat log? Are there any other trace or logging
facilities in InfoCenter Help?
3) Regarding NL, is it correct to assume that 2.1 InfoCenter Help is
NL-ready? That is, will 2.1 InfoCenter Help require any code enhancements
to support NL?
Will 2.1.1 add anything beyond bug fixes and properties files with
translated strings? Have you planned any other enhancements or design
changes?
Is it correct to assume that all localizable properties are identified
already in the English property files?
4) What problems can we expect in migrating from 2.0.x to 2.1 (either now
or within a year)?
No changes to the help content are required, right?
Web application servlets that make help requests might need to change
the URLs for making help requests and how they access the content frame as
well as installation, startup, and shutdown but, otherwise, should not
require changes, right?
Thanks in advance,

Please respond to
platform-help-dev
Most keys are the same, but there are some new ones introduced in 2.1.
View names, tab tooltips will appear to the user as key names if you use
2.0.x translations.

[platform-help-dev] use of 2.0 language packs for 2.1 InfoCenter?

Hi, Eclipse Help Minders:
On the newsgroup, a posting suggests a way to use 2.0 language packs for
the 2.1 release:
news://www.eclipse.org:119/b4l03t$vad$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Does a 2.0 language pack provide every localized string used in the 2.1
InfoCenter? And, are the keys the same? In other words, are there any
localization needs for 2.1 InfoCenter that aren't met by 2.0 language
packs?
