Kirk Lund created GEODE-2289:
--------------------------------
Summary: Request: deploy resource command to deploy dependency
jars and application specific files
Key: GEODE-2289
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2289
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: gfsh
Reporter: Kirk Lund
Feature request: add a "deploy resource" command that can be used to deploy
dependency jars (such as Spring jars) and application config files (such Spring
xml files) to servers. Servers would then store these files to a subdir under
its working directory.
Comparison to "deploy jar": this command does not scan and load Functions or
other Callbacks from the jar file. Deploy jar command is currently only used to
deploy implementations of Apache Geode callback interfaces (Function,
CacheListener, etc). Attempting to deploy a dependency jar with optional
transitive dependencies will result in NoClassDefFoundErrors because deploy
loads every class in the jar, inspects it to determine if it's a Function and
then auto-registers it if it is.
Description from Swapnil on [email protected] mailing list:
Some application may need to copy files to all the servers. These files
could either be data files or they could be configuration files needed by
the application or they could be jar files (that don't have functions but
have say, spring data geode jar files) that need to be on the server's
classpath.
We could accomplish this by enhancing the current gfsh "deploy" command to
accept any kind of file and write it to the servers file system OR create a
new gfsh "copy" command to copy any arbitrary file to the servers.
I would personally like to repurpose the deploy command but would like to
hear the community's opinion.
Current status: the community rejected this proposal.
