[jsword-devel] jsword on gae

[Yoguan]

I don't think jsword will run on gae as it is.
1. Gae does not support thread.
2. This may be my wrong impression. I didn't spend much time to investigate it. But if I am right, then  You need to have a way to keep the book module files. Deployment to gae means to upload a war file and run it there.so you won't be able to separate the book modules from the application.

I think of one way to run jsword is to deploy a war to gae while keep the search function somewhere else. Between the gae web application and the search are web services or json.

Hi

I was just wondering if people think it is possible to take JSword  
as is, and run it as a library on Google App Engine? My thinking is  
that it is not, since it downloads the books when you install them  
to disk (wherever that might be) and with Google App Engine you have  
only read-access to the disk...

I'm not at all familiar with Google App Engine, so I can't really  
comment. JSword does not expect to have write access to the disk. It  
is possible to install a JSword based frontend on a CD and run it from  
there. It leaves no trace on the host computer. The obvious problem is  
that other books cannot be downloaded.

I'm curious as to what you think about the GAE and JSword.


Am I right? or would it be possible to configure the drivers somehow  
to enable the books to be stored somewhere else? like in their non- 
relational datastore?

There are two parts to finding a Book (aka module).
1. Locating the SWORD repository on disk that has the Book. This is  
not part of the driver. This determines the root of the Book store.  
This is adaptable and can be taught to look at many more disk locations.
2. Locating and using the files belonging to the Book. This is the  
responsibility of the driver.

It is possible to write a locator and a driver for another store.

I'm not sure that I answered your question.

Hi,

Sorry, do I need to put this public API request in the JIRA so it will
not be forgotten due to the nature of mailing list ?

I have done that for you.
http://crosswire.org/bugs/browse/COM-11

I think our development efforts for JSword, et al, should be driven  
from JIRA.
I like using it as a record of changes so that on a release, I can  
create the release notes more easily.
It is also a good place to store contributed patches.

BTW, I'm going to add set/get for the private member variables instead  
of increasing their visibility. Let me know if that does not work for  
your plans.

In Him,
   DM

Hi,

I would like to request Public API for o.c.common.swing.FontStore,
because at the moment almost important field and method is marked as
private.

So here is the list (if possible) to be changed from private to  
Public/Protected
- method private void load() -> change to public/protected void  
load()
- method private void store() -> change to public/protected void  
store()
- private static final String LANG_KEY_PREFIX to public
- private static final String DEFAULT_KEY to public
- private static final String DEFAULT_FONT public


Oops, almost forget field
private boolean loaded -> change to protected
private Properties fontMap -> change to protected
private URI fontStore -> change to protected
private String storeName -> change to protected
private String defaultFont -> change to protected

because I would like to inherit from the above FontStore class,  
rather
reimplemented it.
