Attachments:	Old JBI Module project customizer and proposed changes New JBI Module project customizer with proposed changes (I am using a IEP project here) Proposed CompApp cutomizer changes

Description Jun Qian 2007-04-13 22:13:28 UTC

This is an umbrella ticket to clean up some old JBI terms (probably used before
JBI 1.0 spec was finalized). Specifically, "Assembly Unit" should be changed to
"Service Assembly"; "Application Sub Assembly" should be changed to "Service Unit". 

Those terms are used in both project customizer UI and project.properties file
in various projects and they are confusing people.

Needs to be done before UI freeze

Comment 5 Jun Qian 2007-06-19 21:26:20 UTC

One thing that needs to be decided is how to transfer SU description to CompApp. The schema for SU jbi.xml doesn't
contain this info. Maybe we can add an extension?

The current CompApp contains a SU description (see CompApp Customizer) that is applied to all the SUs. This doesn't make
sense to me.

Comment 6 Tientien Li 2007-06-20 23:07:56 UTC

We should fix these outdated customizer panels in jbi and se projects. One possible way to access these information 
from SE projects is using standardized property names. If these properties are not defined in the SE project, then the 
default value will be used. I will try to write a short description on how to do this next week.

Comment 7 Jun Qian 2007-07-12 02:06:42 UTC

We will use standardized property name to communicate service unit description from JBI Module project to CompApp project.

I propose to remove the following properties in JBI module project which are either not-used or invalid:

    com.sun.jbi.ui.devtool.jbi.alias.application-sub-assembly=This Application Sub-Assembly
    com.sun.jbi.ui.devtool.jbi.alias.assembly-unit=This Assembly Unit
    com.sun.jbi.ui.devtool.jbi.component.conf.root=nbproject/private
    com.sun.jbi.ui.devtool.jbi.deployment.conf.root=nbproject/deployment
    com.sun.jbi.ui.devtool.jbi.description.application-sub-assembly=This represents the Application Sub-Assembly
    

I also propose to replace the following two properties:

    com.sun.jbi.ui.devtool.jbi.description.assembly-unit=Represents this Assembly Unit
    com.sun.jbi.ui.devtool.jbi.setype.prefix=sun-iep-engine

by

    jbi.service-unit.description=Represents this Service Unit
    jbi.se.type=sun-iep-engine

respectively.

For backward compatibility, CompApp will check both the new name "jbi.service-unit.description" (preferred) and old name
"com.sun.jbi.ui.devtool.jbi.description.assembly-unit" in the JBI Module projects for service unit description. This
description, if found, overwrites the template service unit description defined in CompApp.

The above proposed property name changes is not mandatory. JBI Module project owners can choose to migrate old project
property names automatically or leave them untouched. The UI clean up, as shown in the first two attachments, is a
must-fix before UI freeze though.

Comment 8 Narayana Rallabandi 2007-10-29 11:33:40 UTC

Clean up for the old terms "Assembly Unit" and "Application Sub Assembly" to "Service Assembly" and "Service Unit"
respectively.
