Notes

• Discussion surrounding Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
  • Don: Will the old process still be maintained?
    • Likely not
  •  William: What about maven deploy?
    • Could we use that to provide an option that copies over the .war? 
    • Or potentially execute the old Maven build process
  • Who will be affected by these changes?
    • In its current state, 3 tier build is only partially possible
    • Anybody who wants to edit files directly in their Tomcat directory, i.e. hotfixes without change control
    • People editing or adding files in their VIVO home directory
      • Edited files would have been overwritten via the old process anyway
  • Revisit moving themes to home directory? That way a .war could be distributed that would be common across all users.
  • Alternatives to copying the vivo-home tar upon every start
    • Could there be a configuration flag that determines whether the copy happens or not? Perhaps in runtime.properties, that makes the deployment of the home directory configurable? 'clobber setting'
    • Default config could be 'don't copy' with the exception that it will need to copy on 'firsttime' regardless of setting. 
    • What about the upgrade process, when additional files may have been added to home, or edited? 
  • From Brian, there is also the 'Do Not Build' option: We already create an existing .war file upon compilation (which is then exploded and inserted into Tomcat's webapps directory). What if the end users who want a war downloaded two things... war file and tar file for home? 
  • Path forward seems to require two things at a minimum
    • A method for building the application with both webapp and home directory overlays (fully functioning third tier)
    • A change so the home folder files are not copied on every startup.
