szpak / appinfo Goto Github PK

On 12/Jun/11 Witek Wasilewski reported:

We are using AppInfo in our application. It works perfectly well in internal QA: application is deployed with version number based on maven version/build date/svn revision and this version number is provided in bug reports. However, during clients UATs we are obliged to provide deployments with specific version numbers according to clients release plan. Currently to do so we have to manually change version inside of *.war MANIFEST.MF. We could really use the ability to provide specific version number for specific build, either as a maven build parameter or via Jenkins parameter plugin.

It could be useful to have version information provided by AppInfo available also via JMX (to remote read from applications without GUI or from a monitoring tools - like JavaMelody).
Technically it should be probably a separate (sub)module (at least a separate XML with default configuration) to not provide a necessary dependencies/overhead when not used.

The application is really easy to used when you need standard settings.
But if You couldn't base on standard app info (provided by bean appInfoText) you have to do some work

1. write custom formatter class extendes AbstractApplicationInfoFormatter
2. add the bean to your spring context
3. optionally you can add another (string bean) which is filled by custom formatter - and it can be easy inject in your code

It is a lot of work to do, but I suppose that customization of appinfo formmat could be achieve in simpler way

APPINFO is using org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextFactoryBean as servlet context factory (see appInfoWebContext.xml file). This class is marked as deprecated in Spring 3.x.
This issue can cause configuration problems on modern servlet 3.0 containers.

I would be useful to have a plugin for Grails. In a standard configuration it would expose the appInfoText Spring bean with application version available as a text.
