Betreff: [Xradar-developer] Some comments on the last commit...


Hi,

I commited more modification about the xradar-statics ant task. Now =
almost all the statics works is done by this java app. However, there is =
still some issues:

1 First, i've still trouble with the "website generation" so i can't had =
it to the ant task.=20
2 Some grah are not properly rendered=20

I'll keep working on (1) for the moment, so if you free time, please =
look at the (2) !

I also updated the java2html.jar, both in the lib directory and the =
pom.xml .

Several other important things:

*  i remove the place holder for system_specific analysis. We'll have to =
design a small API ( probably one method or two) to allow addition to =
system_specific analysis. For the moment, I file this under "todo later" =


* To package all the resources of xradar ( stylesheets, img, =
properties...) in one jar, i designed a URL resolver that handle a =
xradar specific protocol. I write about this on several occasion, but i =
wanted to describs the meaning the URL:=20

    xradar://stylesheets/radar/static/graph/style.xsl

In this example, the resolver will look for the file =
/radar/static/graph/style.xsl in the classpath. Most likely, this file =
will be found in the xradar-1.0.jar (however, note that you can add your =
own entry in classpath to override specific part of xradar; a "nice to =
have" feature). If this fails, meaning, the resources is NOT in the =
classpath, it uses the same part of the url to look, relativly in the =
file system ( so in this case, it will look for =
'./radar/static/graph/style.xsl' on the file-system).=20

Note the first word 'stylesheets' is the host on a generic URL semantic. =
Here, it serves no purpose. So i just use it as a classifier for the =
file that addresses the url:

* stylesheets, is used obviously when you load an xsl file.=20
* resources, is used for static resources such as jpg files or xml file.

This semantic is NOT mandatory, sometime the xslt engine retrieve de =
default context and may load an xml file with the 'stylesheets' host. =
However, i think we should stick to this convention when add manually =
url to our files.=20

I tried to externalize almost everything ( all the filename of the xslt =
for instance) in the =
org.sourceforge.xradar.statics.defaultValues.properties files. This file =
can also be overriden using the same classpath tricks. So if you want to =
modify some xslt to correct a bug or try something, you can simply =
override anything by adding in the classpath, before the xradar.jar.

Well, most likely, you're going to modify the xsl and just run '$ mvn =
clean package ; mv target/xradar-1.0-beta.jar', and just try again...
