Remove comment management from the AtomPub service (#215)
The comments collection let an AtomPub client list, moderate and delete
comments. Comment text is written by anyone, and a client that reads it
with the same credentials that can edit templates is a poor combination,
especially for AI agents. Remove the collection until there is a better
way to scope credentials; comments are moderated in the web interface.
- Remove CommentCollection, its routes and its service document entry;
/{handle}/comments and /{handle}/comment/{id} now answer 404.
- Remove thr:in-reply-to support from the Atom reader and writer, which
only comments used.
- Remove the comment tests, examples, schema elements and the Comments
chapter of the AtomPub guide; update CHANGES.md and the user guide.Apache Roller is a Java-based, full-featured, multi-user and group-blog server suitable for blog sites large and small. Roller is typically run with Apache Tomcat and MySQL. Roller is made up of the following Maven projects:
The Roller Install, User and Template Guides are available in ODT format (for OpenOffice or LibraOffice):
Hit the Roller Confluence wiki:
If you want to run Roller in production, then you should down load the latest official release and install it by following the Installation Guide, which you can find at the documentation link: https://github.com/apache/roller/tree/master/docs.
You probably should not run Roller in production using this technique, but it‘s a relatively easy way to try Roller for yourself. Assuming you’ve got a UNIX shell, Java, Maven and Git:
Get the code:
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/roller.git
Compile and build Roller:
$ cd roller $ mvn -DskipTests=true install
Run Roller in Jetty with an embedded Derby database (for testing only):
$ mvn jetty:run
Once Jetty is up and running browse to http://localhost:8080/roller to try to Roller.
Another way to try Roller is to use Docker. This is actually easier than running via Maven because you do not need Maven or Java. If you‘ve got Docker, here’s how you can run Roller for demo purposes.
Get the code:
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/roller.git
Run Docker Compose to build and launch Roller along with a PostgreSQL database:
$ cd roller $ docker-compose up
It will take a while to build and start the Docker image. Once it's done browse to http://localhost:8080/roller to try Roller.
