体验 SpringSource DM Server

前言

SpringSource dm Server™  is a completely modular, OSGi-based Java server designed to run enterprise Java applications and Spring-powered applications with a new degree of flexibility and reliability. The SpringSource dm Server is based on the new SpringSource Dynamic Module Kernel™ (dm Kernel). The dm Kernel provides a module-based backbone for the server, which also harnesses the power of Spring, Apache Tomcat and OSGi-based technologies.

 

 

SpringSource宣布dm Server发布，版本为1.0.0GA。这是一个完全模块化部署的，基于OSGi的Java服务器，为运行企业Java应用和Spring应用提供更加 强大的灵活性和可靠性。SpringSource应用平台是构建在Spring、OSGi和Apache Tomcat之上的应用服务器，这个新的应用服务器摒弃了原有的Java EE服务器标准，自然而然地将Spring编程模型展现其中，随之而来的还有一套基于OSGi内核构建的全新部署和打包系统。

正文

今天在javaeye看到了SpringSource dm Server GA版本正式发布 的消息，使得原本就对OSGi很好奇的我一下子又来了兴趣，立即去SpringSource下载SpringSource DM Server 来体验。

 

按导航一路点击，进入到下载页面，发现binary版本居然下载不了，汗～ 无奈只能下载source 。

然后开始build。按readme.txt上的说明cd to the build-dm-server directory，run 'ant' to build the dm Server binary ZIP file containing a runnable version of the server. 构建是使用ant来做的，首先ivy会下载了一大堆依赖的jar，这个过程可能会比较漫长（视网络连接速度而定），期间或许你可以去睡一觉 。

 

很快问题来了，说是一些java文件里有一些字符串没有正确使用“"”括起来。根据以往经验，我怀疑是javac使用平台默认的编码（我的是windows xp 中文版，那么应该就是GBK/GB18030），和java源代码中使用的编码（后经证实是UTF-8）不兼容造成的。于是修改了spring-build目录下相关build.xml里s:javac task的属性，增加了encoding="UTF-8"。重新build，问题解决。

 

接下来又是漫长的等待，整个编译过程接近半小时（没算下载依赖jar的时间）。漫长等待之后，终于完成了。

OK, cd %SERVER_HOME%，run bin\startup.bat

很不幸，问题又来了

 这次我束手无策了 ，毕竟对OSGi的了解太少了。

无奈之下，来到Spring Community Forums寻求帮助。无独有偶，居然让我看到另一个哥们遇到了和我同样的问题，并已经得到高人的解答～～ 哈哈，真是好消息！

按照上面所述解决方法，做了相应修改以后，开始rebuild。又是漫长的等待。。。

zip-server:
      [zip] Building zip: F:\springsource-dm-server-sources-1.0.0.RELEASE\build-dm-server\target\artifacts\springsource-dm-server-1.0.0.BUILD-20081111115944.zip

dist:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

 这次终于ok了～～

 

 

 

困了。。。 先写到这里吧。

 

To be continued...

 

binary下载

鉴于从源码build不是很顺利，故这里提供build好的binary版本下载

springsource-dm-server-1.0.0.BUILD-20081111115944.zip   14.6 MB
