Matt, I realize that this is probably a stupid question but I downloaded and am playing with the Ubuntu VM from your BFusion talk and was wondering if updating OpenBD on the VM is as simple as dropping in the new WAR? Thanks!
Yep, if you keep the name the same (openbd.war) then it will redeploy and nuke what you already have in that context path, but it really is as simple as dropping in the new WAR. If you want to retain stuff you have in the existing openbd context just name the new war something else (openbd2.war for example) and then you'll get the new version in a new context path. And of course Tomcat has to be running for the auto-deploy to happen.
Awesome! Thank you, Matt. Fortunately, I just setup the VM Sunday night, so I don't have anything in the existing OpenBD context I'd need to keep ... nuking the previous version is perfect!
Cool--let me know if you run into any issues with that VM. I should have stuck a zip file in there with the username/password and some other notes but I'd have to re-upload the 3GB file, so I'll probably leave it as is and let people hit me up for help as needed.
Honestly, Matt, it couldn't have been easier. I already use VirtualBox, so I literally just imported the new one and was off to the races. Plus, floss/floss is pretty easy to remember :)!
I also wanted to mention that Open BD made several internal improvements like moving from StringBuffer to StringBuilder and switched to using HashMap instead of HashTable. On some of my applications, I saw up to a 20% improvement on framework (Mach-II) load times.Matt, they used my quote at the bottom! Yippy!
Yep--good points Peter, and thanks for digging around in the code and helping us out! Great quote as well. ;-)
