+ <td><b><i>Transit</i></b></td>
+
+ <td>
+ Transit is a resource management system that lets you work with
+ uris instead of urls - where uris include
artifact:[group]/[name]#[version]
+ (for cached based retrieval of versioned resources backed by
local and/or
+ remote repositories), link:[group]/[name]#[version] which
provides an
+ equivalent concept to a symlink, and
local:[group]/[name]#[version] for retrieval of
+ local preferences. Above the resource management layer is a
plugin
+ management system that combines 'deployment data' and
'classloader chain'
+ information into XML files that can be used by the system to
automatically
+ deploy complex systems.
+ </td>
+
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr>
+
+ <td><b><i>Metro</i></b></td>
+
+ <td>
+ Metro is an advanced deployment strategy for plugins. In effect
Transit plugin definitions
+ allow for the declaration of alternative object deployment
strategies.
+ While the basic Transit plugin model supports a generic
framework (including antlib
+ resources loading) - the Metro system goes orders of magnitude
further in its provision
+ for lifecycle management, custom lifestyle, Context-IOC, remote
management,
+ logging, and other features aimed at composite component
management. The Metro platform
+ also includes a the 'Station' - in effect a server handles
multiple JVMs and provides
+ support for remote application management.
+ </td>
+
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr>
+
+ <td><b><i>Depot</i></b></td>
+
+ <td>
+ The Depot library provides a framework for &lt;resource&gt;
(e.g.
+ jar file, XML files, etc.), &lt;project&gt;, and &lt;module&gt;
declarations.
+ Modules identify a namespace for a group of resource and/or
projects.
+ Projects identify a working base directory. Projects can declare
scoped dependencies
+ covering BUILD, TEST and RUNTIME phases. Runtime phases can be
further
+ qualified to separate PUBLIC, PROTECTED and PRIVATE scopes. In
addition
+ project definitions may include property and filter declarations
and (which
+ may be direct name/token substitution or feature based
substitution - e.g.
+ lookup the version of project X and replace token Y with the
value).
+ The build system includes a command line handler that uses the
library
+ to resolve project base directories, transitive dependencies,
properties,
+ and filters. It uses the Transit system for all resource
management concerns
+ including support within Transit for the declaration and
deployment of plugins
+ (where a plugin is somewhat equivalent to an antlib plus
classloader
+ definition). Depot uses Transit for loading build templates and
antlibs.
+ Depot also includes a small number of Ant tasks that enable
build automation
+ of the majority of the DPML project. Generally speaking these
ant tasks
+ are simply pulling in info from the library (e.g. compile path
creation,
+ test path creation, meta-data creation, property resolution,
etc.).
+ When the generic Depot tasks don't meet all of our needs - we
simply add extra
+ extra instructions into build.xml files (i.e. its just driving
classic Ant).

+ <subsection name="1.0.3 Maintenance Update">
+
+ <p>
+ The 1.0.3 update is a general maintenance update that incorporates
+ updates to the Transit artifact protocol handler and related Ant
+ tools. The distribution also includes numerouse documentation
+ enhancements.
+ </p>
+
+ </subsection>
+
+ <subsection name="1.0.2 Maintenance Update">
+
+ <p>
+ The 1.0.2 update resolved a bug in the Transit console handler
related
+ to the deployment of plugins from the command line. Earlier
versions did
+ not properly support plugins declaring a net.dpml.util.Logger
constructor
+ argument instance. The release also included improvements to the
console
+ info listing with additional version information for both console
and
+ runtime resources.
+ </p>
+
+ </subsection>
+
+ <subsection name="1.0.1 Maintenance Update">
+
+ <p>
+ Changes in the the 1.0.1 release included the addition of a new
command-line option to the Depot build
+ tool enabling a decimal version build policy together with some
internal implementation
+ enhancements that enable the generation of a full DPML system build
using the Depot build
+ system. The decimal versioning option basically addresses
functional requirements that arise
+ when evaluating the impact of small changes on dependent systems.
In addition version 1.0.1
+ introduced the ability within the DPML build to run the entire build
under Depot (as opposed
+ to the earlier bootstrap+Depot build sequence).
