Webslinger
Removed with rev. 1301866 in date 2012-03-17
First release(s) without the feature: NA
Description:
You can find information about Webslinger here: http://www.webslinger.org
The Webslinger component was removed from OFBiz for the following reasons:
- no active committer was maintaining the webslinger component
- the component was experimental and not really used by OFBiz
- the component was really big (lot of jars etc...) and we are trying to slim down the OFBiz framework and keep only the essential/useful features
- this fixes a security issue
The only Webslinger feature used by the OFBiz framework was the "service debug mode" (enabled by default with the property servicedispatcher.servicedebugmode): it relied on Webslinger legacy code (in the org.webslinger.invoker.* package) that was never contributed as a source file to the OFBiz project; the source files for Webslinger don't seem to be publicly available:

the svn resources mentioned there are broken. The fact that the OFBiz frameework was dependent (for a feature useful only in development mode) on an external project that doesn't publish its source code (at least in an easy to find location) convinced me that it was better to clean up the dependency completely; on the bright side OFBiz should now use less memory.
