Several questions about Plugins
by Hubert Chang
::
Rate this Message:
1, How to install the plugin into the application when the application server is running? I don't want to restart the application server to make the plugin usable.
2, How to disable and enable one plug-in when the application server is running? Thus, one plugin has two status: installed but not enabled, and enabled. 3, How to achieve the module support like Drupal? Should I use one plugin as one module? Or implement some hooks like Drupal to achieve the module support? |

I think Grails' idea of Plugins is a bit different than what you have
outlined in your questions. A Grails' plugin typically adds functionality or enhancements to your Grails' application which you may then leverage in a development environment. Grails is a framework, not a CMS. Comparing plugins in Drupal or Joomla! to Grails is not a valid comparison. - Dean Del Ponte On Jun 15, 2009, at 12:27 PM, Hubert Chang wrote: > > 1, How to install the plugin into the application when the > application server > is running?

None of this functionality exists, to my knowledge.
An OSGi-ified Grails would provide this functionality (and more!), but that's a pipe dream at this point. ~~ Robert.

Yeah, it is not a valid comparision. But Drupal and Joomla provides some good examples for CMS system. Now if I want to clone one "drupal" with grails, I should not use the plugins system of grails but write another implementation with hooks and variables?
Thanks.

Hi, this is an interesting idea, which could be enabled by having
Grails support a plug-in in the form of an OSGI module. -Chanwit On 15/06/2009, Hubert Chang <huixiu@...> wrote: > > 1, How to install the plugin into the application when the application > server > is running?

You may want to check out Weeceem at http://www.weceem.org/weceem/weceem/HTMLContent/index
It's a CMS built on Grails, still early in development. It's completely open source. Perhaps they're already working on a CMS plugin system like you have already outlined.

I'm trying to achieve the same as you, Hubert. Did you come up with a solution or workaround for this problem?
It would be great to have something like a Plugin Manager which could notice new plugins that have been dynamically deployed at runtime and give the user the chance to enable or disable them. Also, does anyone else know of a workaround to this issue where it would be possible to distribute extensions to our webapp to our clients without the need to recompile and redistribute the whole application?

I try to use the plugin system which grails provides. I wait for Grails 2.0 and hope the plugin may have a smoothly way to achieve OSGi functionability.
