OSAF Server Commons

The Server Commons is a bundle of utilities for common server tasks and integrations with external frameworks and APIs. It is used by Cosmo and eventually also Scooby.

Initial subprojects include Struts, JSP and Jackrabbit utilities, and JCR integration for the Spring Framework.

Cosmo is available under the terms of the Apache Software License, Version 2.0.

Current Release

There are not yet any formal releases of Server Commons. The first release is expected simultaneously with Cosmo 0.2.

Source Code Access

• read-only: svn co http://svn.osafoundation.org/server/commons/trunk commons
• read-write: svn co svn+ssh://svn.osafoundation.org/svn/server/commons/trunk commons

See SubversionGuidelines for more information about OSAF's Subversion repositories.

Building

Subprojects are built and installed separately. There is not yet any way to build or install all subprojects at once (contributions welcome).

• maven jar:jar builds and tests a subproject
• maven jar:install builds and tests a subproject and installs its artifact

The exception to this rule is the jackrabbit/maven subproject, which is a Maven plugin.

• maven plugin:install builds, tests and installs the plugin

The spring subproject must be built and installed before the jackrabbit subprojects. Otherwise, the build order does not matter.
