 RE: Bug 46326 - StarTeam: Use Cache Agent for Checkouts
Some parts of this message have been removed.

Hi Paul,
I’ve attached the new code that
includes the new interface StarTeamLogOnProvider and three implementations
classes StarTeamDefaultLogOn, StarTeamAutoLogOn and StarTeamEncryptLogOn.
This interface should allow developers to create their own log on mechanisms
and plug them into the ANT class path without having to add them to the ANT
source/distro.
I’ve attached the source within a
zip file (which have been renamed to .zi_ and password protected with the
password of “starteam” otherwise my firewall will strip out all the
code) and I’ve attached the compile ant-starteam.jar (again within a zip
file with the password “starteam”) for ANT 1.7.0.

Hi Paul,
That cool. Just to let you know,
I’ve just gone back and read the email from Joe Schulz and it states:
As for using my
EncryptPassword utility, you are definitely more than welcome to call it within
the ANT tasks. If you’d like, I can repackage the required classes
in any way that would facilitate the work you’re doing. Just let me
know if there is anything I can do to help.
If I read this correctly he’s
allowing us to call his package from ANT and if any repackaging is required he
will do it for us but he is not making the code available for addition to
ANT/apache code base.
In saying this I’ve created an
extendable Interface that allows different StarTeam log on methods to be
plugged into classpath dynamically. I should have this ready in the next
day or so.
Regards,

Hi John,
Unfortunately the person who was testing it no longer works for us and I've
been so busy I haven't had a chance to pick this up again. But it is
still on my radar.

Sorry I haven’t got back to you on this one, how are
you going with the enhancement overall? Could you please an update to dev@... with what
you have tested successfully.
What I’d like to see is Borland make the password
encryption routine used by BCO available within the SDK removing the need for a
separate package altogether. I’ll look at integrating the current
mechanism as soon as possible.

Hi John,
Okay. While I don't necessary think it would be a huge issue to include
the code as-is (I've simply changed the EncryptPassword.cmd file to use
ant.jar, and changed the package name of the class), it might be biting off
more than we should chew to try and create a generic Ant task at this point --
I would think it could potentially complicate the approval process for getting
this code out there. It is a worthy idea though. Do you think this
would make it complicated to get the StarTeam tasks updated if we had a generic
interface for encryption? We've actually already created generic password
encryption and decryption tasks for Ant properties to encode in a file, which
is what we have been using as a workaround for StarTeam Ant task encryption, so
I could take a look to see if they are appropriate as a starting point for
this. The only thing I found in the core tasks was GenKey but this didn't
seem like it would be appropriate at first glance.
One more question about your comment: do you see it being problematic to have
to launch a separate command to encrypt the password? I can't think of
any other good way to do this.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul
Joe has given me permission to add th code to the ant source. I'm not sure
whether it would be a good idea as we'd need to create a task to encypt the
password to a file. Also from memory you still need the starteam api to use the
encrption routine therefore it couldn't be used as a generic ant task. What may
be better is to create a generic interface class that could be used by any ant
task and then add an implementation based on Joe's code.

Thanks John,
Perhaps I could get Borland representatives to vote on it themselves, and
perhaps we could post in newsgroups. I'll work on starting a campaign
once we've got the final features settled. First, however, I will need to
replace the EncryptPassword class with one that can be included in the Ant
starteam package and/or get Joe Schulz/Borland to grant permission to use this
code. I've already done the changes on my side and have passed this onto
a developer to try it out.
Some more feedback -- there is one line of code which will not compile in
versions of StarTeam SDK prior to 10.1, which means 2006 (9.0) and the first
release of 2008 (10.0) are not supported. There may need to be some
reflection API used here if we are going to try and use CheckoutManager.
While version 8.0 is already de-supported, we still have a little more time
before 9.0 is de-supported, so it might be worth looking into this.
Another thing I thought we might want to add is the (selectable) Atomic
Checkin... which is now supported by the SDK. I haven't looked into this
but my assumption is that the current code would not result in an atomic
check-in. In a way, it is too bad that optional tasks aren't included in
separate jars. This might help individual task packages to be released
more easily.
Thanks again for all of your help.

Hi Paul
To get this push through we need a
number of individual to vote for the fix plus test it. If you can get your guys
to create accounts on ant's bugzilla vote for the bugs inclusion and add their
test results probably to the ant dev mailing list.

Hi John,
Hope all is well with you. We
have some developers here who would like to test the code (specifically the
support for encryption) and I am not having any luck applying the attached Diff
files with GnuWin32. Do you think you could send me the complete source
code for the StarTeam tasks when you get a minute? This would be a big
help.
Also, do you know how we might be
able to get these pushed for consideration in the next Ant build?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Paul Coste

Hi Paul,
I've been working on an enhancement to Ant's Starteam integration, in
particular to use the MPX Cache agent for checkouts. Would you be
interested in doing some testing of the new version of the stcheckout ANT
task? I've done some internal testing and it works for my test cases but
I'd like to get some external testing done before I publish it to apache.org.
