[Red5] webapps

Yes and no ; 

you can make a copy and edit the configuration files (properties, xml, logback) but one thing is hardcoded inside an application: the name of the app for the logging.
So you need to change 1 line of code inside your Application.java/class , recompile and redeploy.

There is a one-time fix for this: Do not compile the name of your application inside your application.

Workaround:

Set the name of the logger in file [red5-web.xml] like:

 <bean id="web.handler" class="loadtest.Application">  <property name="applicationId" value="loadtest" /> </bean>The name of the class can be just "Application" or "com.yourcompany.this.that.Application" etc.

Next add a getter and a setter to your file [Application.java]:

private String sNameOfMyApp = "default"; // this private string will be filled by the setter method and read by the getter method.

// setter
public void setApplicationId(String sId) {
    sNameOfMyApp = sId;
    log = Red5LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class, sNameOfMyApp);
    log.info("[E] setApplicationId: " + sId + " is starting.");
}

// getter
public String getApplicationId() {
    return sNameOfMyApp;
}

The setter will be called before [appStart] and thus initialize the logger with the external parameter. 



Example output in my log [./log/loadtest.log]:

2009-08-10 15:59:41,234 [main] DEBUG root - Starting up context loadtest
2009-08-10 15:59:41,484 [Launcher:/loadtest] INFO loadtest.Application - [E] setApplicationId: loadtest is starting.
2009-08-10 15:59:41,484 [Launcher:/loadtest] INFO loadtest.Application - [E] appStart: loadtest is starting.



Snippet from Application.java:

public boolean appStart(IScope iscope_application) {
    log.info("[E] appStart: " + sNameOfMyApp + " is starting.");
    ...

Just tested this and it works. I recommend this to use in the examples about logging. It's very flexible since it removes the hard-coded name of the application to be used for logging.

  Sorry if this is a dumb question but can we duplicate a directory/app and rename it in webapps?  Like if we have a streaming app and we want to create another one that does the same thing but with a different name.
