Re: [platform-update-dev] Update Server Redirection (site.xml)

The archive may be your workaround, use it to map the JAR file the site
asks for (see error messages) to the real URL
So if Updatemanage compains it cannot find plugins
org.eclipse.plugin_1.0.1.jar  do

<archive path="plugins\org.eclipse.plugin_1.0.1.jar"
url="http://www.server-two.com/updates/plugins/the_name_of_the_real.jar"/>

I noticed in an earlier thread that Elek mentioned the <archive> tag could
be used within the site.xml for defining plugins and data that might
reside in a different location other than the site.xml.  This seems like
it would solve the problem.  According to the eclipse spec, you define it
as:

<archive path="c:\updates\plugins"
url="http://www.server-two.com/updates/plugins"/>

?maybe?

Anyone have an example of this?  When I test this, I can see the site.xml
loads correctly and I have no parsing problems.  However, I still fail
during mid-process on the install where it comes back saying that my
plugins can't be found.  What's interesting is that the path it returns
back to me is not that path I specified in the <archive> tag but the path
to where the site.xml exists which is on www.server-one.com.  Entirely the
wrong server.

Still stumped...

        (site.xml)

Hello,

We have update and discovery labels within our primary feature that point
to a specific server.  Example:

http://www.server-one.com/updates

However, we want to redirect the address that the user goes to above to a
different server.  Example:

http://www.server-two.com/updates

We are doing this by putting the site.xml on server-one and editing the
site.xml so that each feature url points to server-two.  Example:

<feature
url="http://www.server-two.com/updates/features/my.feature_1.0.0.jar";>

This seems to work because within the IDE, I can see the site.xml load
with all the features and categories.  Unfortunately, when I click on the
"install" button I get halfway through the feature install and start
getting error reports saying that the feature is missing it's plugins.  I
have verified that the feature directory, and plugins directory on
server-two are at the same level and that all .jar files are there.

Any ideas why this does not work?

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Brooke
