[Geoserver-devel] web module gone?

Justin,

the web module is gone. It looks like you moved it to legacy. I found this Jira issue which seems to record the change, but it has no content.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2650

- Without the web module, "mvn install" no longer builds geoserver.war. Is this intentional. What is the new "official" build procedure?

- How do we launch embedded Jetty for debugging Eclipse? The Start.java for this lived in src/web, as documented here:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/3+Eclipse+Quickstart

What is going on? Did I miss something? Please direct me to the relevant GSIP for this change.

Kind regards,

Hi Ben,

Sorry for the confusion and lack of communication on this. This was done this weekend at the sprint. I have been meaning to write up a summary of what was done, but meetings and other administrative stuff has kept me busy, my apologies.

So yes, the web module has been moved to legacy, along with other deprecated code. The idea is to have it runnable, but we are not quite there yet.

The alternative to web is the web2 module, which is community. Activated via the web2 profile. It does not look like it is configured to build a war at the moment. I will open a jira issue for this. But it does have the Start.java class the same way the old module did, so you can still run it from eclipse.

Again, sorry for the confusion. I will try to write up a summary of what was changed this morning.

-Justin

We also talked about the OpenGeo sprint in the last recorded IRC
meeting:

That said, yeah, being all in the room makes it easy to forget
mail communications on the ml (ironic since I'm usually the one bitching
for more mails...)

Cheers

Ben, the old web module is back to life now.

mvn install -Plegacy and you’re ready to go.

Cheers,
Gabriel

Thanks!

Is this still the "official" (or only) way of making a geoserver WAR?

At the moment more or less. We can add the same configuration to the web2 module as well, so building it would produce a war with the new wicket UI stuff inside.
