should we create a groovyws client plugin?
 
|
I am using groovyws in an application using the groovyws standalone jar. Unfortunately, since this jar cannot be loaded by tomcat (chokes because it contains javax.servlet stuff), I need to be a little more specific about the jars that I include.
There's a listing of dependencies listed on this post: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Using+WSClient+in+Grails Anyway, I was thinking that I could create a plugin and bundle these jars into the plugin so if someone else wanted to use the GroovyWs client, they could just install the plugin. Any thoughts on this? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email |

I used to deliver 3 versions (and can actually still do so):
1- a standalone groovy version (the one you are mentioning) 2- a very lean one containing only the grovyws classes 3- an intermediate version containing groovyws + cxf + it's dependencies. My position today (but I can change) is to only deliver (2) + guideline on how to integrate into grails because option 3 was also causing jar hell problems depending on your container :) For example, cxf comes with geronimo mail jar while some prefer to use SUN implementation ... The dependency list is so important that I think that at some point the developer has to make choice unless with could do something with OGSi but I am not yet familiar with the technology. A better choice from my point of view would be to be able to use @Grab from grails but as far as I know this is not yet possible Comments welcome Guillaume On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 9:22 PM, Phillip Rhodes <[hidden email]> wrote: I am using groovyws in an application using the groovyws standalone jar.

I definitely appreciated the guidelines you gave.
What I ended up doing was creating maven war project (using an archetype) and adding the groovyws minimal as a dependency, along with those different repositories. This created my webapp with a lib full of all the transitive dependencies. Talk about a lot of jars! Anyway, I copied some of these into my grails app lib directory. It was easier doing this than poking through an entire maven repo. I will check in my maven war project into the stitches google code project as this will allow me to keep the stitches client in sync with the groovyws project.

Can you point me to your google code project so that I can have a look to what you did ?
Would it help if I was distributing a zip (not a jar) with cxf and all dependencies ?

Oops, just realize that stitches is the name of the project !

In reply to this post by tog
I uploaded that maven webapp project that I mentioned here: http://stitches.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/my-webapp/ As the readme.txt states, i just used it so I could get all the groovyws dependencies into a single folder so I could more easier integrate it into my grails project.
BTW, the google code repo contains just the client side of stitches. The server-side is in the plugin repo. Lastly. I found this weird thing with groovyws, where you cannot create multiple proxies. I have a full write-up here. http://www.philliprhodes.com/content/groovyws-too-much-good-thing-bad Thanks for your attention!
