IMPLEMENTED

Status: IMPLEMENTED

In issue SLING-83 Betrand proposes to improve our project layout to make it easier to developers to find their way through the projects making up Sling. On this page, I would like to propose a new structure for further discussion.

Naming Conventions

Projects

  • groupId: All projects have the same groupId org.apache.sling
  • artifactId: The artifactId is fully qualified with the groupId plus a name built from the project folder as listed below with slashes / and dashes - replaced by dots .. See below for exceptions.

The final artifact name - pom.build.finalName - is the Maven 2 default consisting of the artifactId and the version. The Bundle-SymbolicName is defined in the parent pom as being just the artifactId.

Exceptions to artifactId rule

  • The parent project's artifactId is sling
  • The artifactId of the projets in the sling folder is just the project name without the parent folder sling, e.g core for the Sling core project.
  • The Maven 2 plugin projects in the maven folder follow the naming convention for Maven 2 plugins.

Java Packages

Each project consists of a series of Java Packages. To prevent collision between projects with respect to Java Packages, each project has a root Java Package which is the fully qualified Maven 2 project name consisting of the artifactId such that the Bundle symbolic name and the root Java Package are the same.

scripting/???

org.apache.sling.scripting.???

more scripting engines, e.g. JSR-223

One of the most notable extensions of the Sling API compared to the Component API is the better definition of implementing scripting. Formerly scripting was supported as just a special way of a Component requiring more or less complex setup in the repository. The projects in the scripting folder implement the new SlingScriptingEngine interface for various script languages. The resolver project implements the SlingScriptResolver interface for Sling.

Standard Servlets, e.g. nt:file, nt:folder

The projects in the sling folder are the core Sling API implementation projects. In addition added value projects such as scheduling and distributed eventing projects are also located in this folder.

Note on sling/core: The core project is currently almost a complete implementation of the Sling framework. Only the JCR Repository access and Object Content Mapping functionality is not part of the core. This project should be broken apart such that only the bare minimum of the functionality is contained. This is to be further analyzed.

Removed and Replaced Projects

  • The component-api project defining the old Component API is replaced by the new api project defining the Sling API. Therefore the component-api project is removed.
  • The project JSP compiler (Jasper plus Eclipse Java Compiler) project jasper-sling is not a standalone project any more. It has been integrated into the project implementing the SlingScriptingEngine for JSP script/jsp.
  • No labels
