Configuring the VSS Extension
| Configuration panel location |
|---|
|
After installation, the extensions configuration panel is available under the Versioning node in JDevelopers preferences dialog.
The VSS Extension configuration panel is only one panel. Your SourceSafe connection configuration is done from here.
|
| Choose client |
|---|
|
By default, this checkbox is unchecked. This specifies that you are to use Microsofts Visual SourceSafe client to contact your SourceSafe server.
|
|
If you choose to check this checkbox, you specify that you wish to use SourceGear’s SourceOffSite client to connect to your SourceSafe server,
or that you are using SourceGear’s Vault as your Source/Version Control System.
|
| Server connection |
|---|
|
The extension needs to know how to connect to your SourceSafe server.
VSS Executable:
Specify the path to your SS.EXE SourceSafe command line client.
VSS Database:
Specify the path to the SourceSafe server. The path can be a UNC path element.
The server must be located on a network share and your computer must have the appropriate network permissions in order to access it.
The servers root path is the location of the srcsafe.ini file.
|
SOS Executable:
Specify the path to your soscmd.exe SourceOffSite command line client.
SOS Database:
Specify the path on the SourceSafe’s servers local file system, to the SourceSafe database root folder.
The servers root path is the location of the srcsafe.ini file.
SOS Server:
The IP Address or the DNS resolved name of the server hosting the SourceSafe database.
Port:
The port on the server listening for incoming calls to the SourceOffSite service.
|
| Login |
|---|
|
Either which client you choose to contact your SourceSafe server, you need to provide login information.
|
| Bind project to a SourceSafe working folder |
|---|
|
In addition to the connection information, each JDeveloper project needs to connect the content folder to a working project in SourceSafe.
|
Extension howto's (technical):
The VSSExtension fires an event after every VSS Operation performed.
This means that there is a possibility to perform additional automated actions, by extending the listener interface.
Example:
import org.jdev10.vss.api.VSSOperationListener
import org.jdev10.vss.api.OperationEvent
...
public void operationPerformed(OperationEvent e) {
switch (e.getOperationType()) {
case e.ADDED:
...
case e.CHECKED_IN:
...
case e.CHECKED_OUT:
...
case e.UNDO_CHECKOUT:
...
case e.GET_LATEST:
...
}
}
...
