Hi,
I had various problems with the releases scripts for 1.4.x today.
Generally speaking:
* the scripts assumed a directory layout that was totally different
from the one generated by maven. I tried to fix it a little, and
committed the changes.
* the geoserver-bin.zip file cannot be extracted as it is, because
it'll generate a geoserver directory in the temporary directory
described in http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDEV/7+Releasing
* the menus in start/geoserverxxx/start geoserver do refer the wrong
working directory (still haven't fixed it)
* someone did comment out the jspcompiler servlet, yet it's the only
one that is apparently able to compile properly the jsps, accessing
them directly triggers a jsp compile error (that is fixed in the web
module)
* the web and main module both have a copy of the jsps. In my opionion
the latter should be removed (haven't done that so far).
* the web.xml does not specify any default page, this means that Jetty
happily shows you the contents of the web app instead of a page
when clicking on the "Administration page" link in the menu.
That must be fixed
* the installer assumes there is a /conf directory with the configuration,
and the scripts in /bin do so as well, but the conf directory is in
/webapss/geoserver/conf. Still not fixed, that one neither.
Ok, enough for today.
See you tomorrow.
Cheers
Andrea
Hi Andrea,
Looks like the installer still needs a bit of tweaking. I can look into that. Looking at the binary release it looks pretty messed up, which is leading to the jsp compiler problem. Looking into it.
