how to add a superservice (was: Re: Best Development Manual)

[Joost van Baal]

Hello Hengel,

First of all: which version of Lire are you using?

Developer's documentation is still not completed, indeed...  For now,
taking a look at the way other superservices are implemented is the
easiest way to get going fast, I'm afraid :(  (I assume you've seen
Chapter 2. of the Lire Developer's Manual.)

This looks like you've forgotten to add a file sybaselog.xml to
/opt/lire/logreport/share/lire/schemas/ , or perhaps the format of this
XML file is incorrect.  Setting DEBUG=1 in defaults.local might help
debugging the problem.  Be sure to add a file sybaselog.cfg to
/opt/lire/logreport/etc/lire/ too.

Apart from the LogReport developers, Edwin Groothuis did this once, as
did Arnaud Taddei with Arnaud Gaillard.

BTW, I'm very happy you're trying to implement your own superservice!
Please give us another call in case you run into any more troubles.

You might want to consider sharing your code: we are gladly accept code
contributions, and are happy to ship it with Lire and possibly maintain
it in the long run.  Let us know if this would be an option for you.

Bye,

Joost
