### Overview
|
|
|
|
_TODO: Answer the questions below to help you define your source code
|
|
organization and build process. Some example text is provided. Add or
|
|
delete text as needed. E.g., not all projects try to be platform
|
|
independent._
|
|
|
|
#### What are the most important facts that a developer should know about this source code organization and build system?
|
|
|
|
::It roughly follows the standard proposed in the Tomcat documentation
|
|
and is very similar to the organization used on many open source
|
|
projects at the Apache Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
#### What are the ranked goals of this source code organization and build system?
|
|
|
|
1. ::Separation of files by type
|
|
2. ::Separation of version-controlled files from files generated by
|
|
the build process
|
|
3. ::Compatibility with standard build processes
|
|
4. ::Platform independence
|
|
|
|
### Key Directories and Files in Developer Working Copies

overall structure or build process._

### Build Targets
|
|
|
|
_TODO: Describe the build targets that developers will use in daily
|
|
development. The examples below should fit most projects._
|
|
|
|
| Target | Description |
|
|
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| ::compile = default | ::Compiles Java source code and creates .class files under the "build" directory. |
|
|
| ::dist | ::Packages the system for distribution/deployment to servers or end users. Specifically, it creates .war archive of compiled classes and configuration files. |
|
|
| ::install | ::Places executable code into location where it will actually be executed. Specifically, it copies .war file into Tomcat's webapps directory for use. You must then restart Tomcat or use the "reload" link in the Tomcat Manager. |
|
|
| ::javadoc | ::Generates Java API documentation under "build/docs/api/". |
|
|
| ::clean | ::Deletes files generated by previous build commands. Files under version control are not touched. |
|
|
|
|
### Build Configuration Options
|
|
|
|
| Property | Description |
|
|
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| ::app.name | ::The name of this application. This should be one short word. Used in the name of resulting package files. Specifically, the .war file. And, it will be used to access the application via <http://localhost:8080/APP.NAME/> |
|
|
| ::app.version | ::Version number of this release. Used in the name of resulting package files. Specifically, the .war file. |
|
|
| ::webapps.path | ::Path to the Tomcat "webapps" directory. Defaults to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ |
|
|
|
|
::These build system properties can be modified by editing the
|
|
build.properties file.
|
|
|
|
### Source Code Organization and Build System Checklist
|
|
|
|
#### Separation of files by type: Are files separated by type?
|
|
|
|
::Yes. Except that application JSP and HTML files are in the same
|
|
directory, which is convenient because sometimes we change an HTML
|
|
file to be a JSP file.
|
|
|
|
#### Separation of version-controlled and non-version controlled files: To what extent has this been achieved?
|
|
|
|
::It has been achieved. Everything is under version control except for
|
|
the "build" directory. No step in the build process should create or
|
|
modify any file in any other directory.
|
|
|
|
#### Compatibility with standard build processes: To what extent has this been achieved?
|
|
|
|
::So far, so good. We can use build.xml files that are very close to
|
|
the examples that come with Ant. One difference is that we keep our
|
|
technical documentation under "www" rather than under "docs". Also,
|
|
we have avoided the use of custom ant tasks.
|
|
|
|
#### Platform independence: To what extent has this been achieved?
|
|
|
|
::We are using Ant, which is itself platform independent. The names
|
|
of the files and directories should work across platforms because
|
|
they do not rely on case-sensitive names. We assume that the utility
|
|
scripts in the "scripts" directory support all needed platforms and
|
|
we have not created directories for different versions of these files
|
|
aimed at specific platforms.
|
|
|
|
#### Have these implementation decisions been communicated to the development team and other stakeholders?
|
|
|
|
::Yes, everyone understands. Feedback is welcome.
|
|
|
|
::No, this is a risk that is noted in the [Risk Management](Project-Plan#Risk-Management) section.
