• Type: Bug

Description

When a user creates and builds a new Radix distribution, the filemgr.properties references such as

# xml rpc client configuration
org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.system.xmlrpc.connectionTimeout.minutes=20
org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.system.xmlrpc.requestTimeout.minutes=60
#org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.system.xmlrpc.connection.retries=0
#org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.system.xmlrpc.connection.retry.interval.seconds=3

Although these are fine e.g. they still work, the package naming is now off as there is no package actually named

org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.system.xmlrpc...

The only issue I have with changing this important configuration setting, is that is would essentially be backwards non-compatible with EVERY OODT install unless your new install was powered by Radix.

Any comments as to what to do? I am happy to close this as wont fix due to the backwards non-compatible nature of a proposed fix which would correct the package naming but I just wanted to post for consideration here folks. I will open a new issue regarding adding AvroRPC filemgr configuration in a separate issue.
