* Parse element Context (if context config file) in HostConfig, for className, path and docBase attributes.
* Parse remaining of element Context in ContextConfig (after defaultcontext).
* unpackWars in HostConfig (in most cases, it's done there already).
* Any resource removal when undeploy in HostConfig.
* anti-resource-locking (optional feature) in ContextConfig (by mutating the docBase, and copying the whole webapp elsewhere).
* Redo naming resources configuration using setAllProperties rule to make the XML less verbose.
Example:
<Resource name="bean/MyBeanFactory" auth="Container"
type="com.mycompany.MyBean" factory="org.apache.naming.factory.BeanFactory"
bar="23"/>
* Default global and per-host configurations:
- conf/<engine>/<host>/context.xml.default
- conf/<engine>/<host>/web.xml.default
- conf/context.xml
- conf/web.xml
This will lead to the removal of the DefaultContext interface, since this will fully replace the functionality (while being very simple to implement and actually complete functionality wise; I have no idea why I never thought of doing it this way, since the default web.xml is implemented like that). For the admin webapp support for DefaultContext, we would simply need to register a Context instance in JMX with the usual DefaultContext MBean name, and tweak a little.
* HTML host manager servlet (allows easily creating host and preconfiguring them - ex: with the manager webapp installed, and a default context file). I think this would be useful (?).
* The other features I mentioned earlier: startup time optimization, removal of stuff which isn't used (such as container listeners).
Note: I'll initially commit some of the updated deployer work as JDK 1.5 sources, and I'll change back to JDK 1.4 sources a bit later. It's very easy to do (although it hurts: I'm getting used to typing for collections way too fast ;) ), and I'm using this opportunity to really play with the new JDK.
I think I'm nearing the point where I'll submit a release plan for this branch (let's say at the end of next week), since I don't see much more to add for now besides more tweaking.
