Re: [wtp-dev] Contributing new server definitions by server vendor


Apurba,

Thx for your support of WTP. After you attach the code to the bugzilla RFE, the code will have to be reviewed by a WTP committer. Please read the guidelines [1] to ensure that the review goes smoothly.

Another alternative to actually contributing the adapter code it to simply include a pointer to it. [2] That way it will appear on the list of available server adapyters. FYI Apache Geronimo does this now. The advantage is that you can maintain the code on your own schedule. You have to set up an Update Manager site and package your adapter as a Feature. You can also get your server runtime listed if you package it as a Feature [3].

The charter of WTP provides for the development of "exemplary" server adapters. However, our direction is to encourage server providers to take over this task and to use the WTP extension points to have their server adapters and runtimes listed. This decouples our development schedules and gives the server providers more control. I recommend that you follow this approach.

Hi Apurba,


Great to hear that you've been able to integrate your server with WTP.


All WTP contributions need to be submitted by opening an enhancement request in bugzilla. You will need to attach your contribution to the bug entry so it can be reviewed. Also, do you have someone who can come along with the contribution and act as the owner of the server adapter? This person will be responsible for maintaining the code.


Thanks,


Lawrence Mandel

[wtp-dev] Contributing new server definitions by server vendor







Hi

We are a server vendor and would like to contribute our server
definition to the existing list. We have created a plugin using the
serverTypes and other needed extension points and are now testing it (we
are using ant tasks with Generic Server definition). Can someone commit
the code to the wtp cvs once we are done so that it is automatically
listed and our existing users do not have to download the plugin seperately.


Thanks
Apurba
