|
|
<p>This is a first attempt at writing the lessons I learned
|
|
when trying to convert the <code>mod_mmap_static</code> module to Apache
|
|
2.0. It's by no means definitive and probably won't even be
|
|
correct in some ways, but it's a start.</p>

<h2><a name="easy" id="easy">The easier changes ...</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="cleanup" id="cleanup">Cleanup Routines</a></h3>
|
|
<p>These now need to be of type <code>apr_status_t</code> and return a
|
|
value of that type. Normally the return value will be
|
|
<code>APR_SUCCESS</code> unless there is some need to signal an error in
|
|
the cleanup. Be aware that even though you signal an error not all code
|
|
yet checks and acts upon the error.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="init" id="init">Initialisation Routines</a></h3>
|
|
<p>These should now be renamed to better signify where they sit
|
|
in the overall process. So the name gets a small change from
|
|
<code>mmap_init</code> to <code>mmap_post_config</code>. The arguments
|
|
passed have undergone a radical change and now look like</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>apr_pool_t *p</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>apr_pool_t *plog</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>apr_pool_t *ptemp</code></li>
|

<li><code>server_rec *s</code></li>

</ul>

<h3><a name="datatypes" id="datatypes">Data Types</a></h3>
|
|
<p>A lot of the data types have been moved into the <a href="http://apr.apache.org/">APR</a>. This means that some have had
|
|
a name change, such as the one shown above. The following is a brief
|
|
list of some of the changes that you are likely to have to make.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>pool</code> becomes <code>apr_pool_t</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>table</code> becomes <code>apr_table_t</code></li>

|
<h3><a name="register-hooks" id="register-hooks">Register Hooks</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The new architecture uses a series of hooks to provide for
|
|
calling your functions. These you'll need to add to your module
|
|
by way of a new function, <code>static void register_hooks(void)</code>.
|
|
The function is really reasonably straightforward once you
|
|
understand what needs to be done. Each function that needs
|
|
calling at some stage in the processing of a request needs to
|
|
be registered, handlers do not. There are a number of phases
|
|
where functions can be added, and for each you can specify with
|
|
a high degree of control the relative order that the function
|
|
will be called in.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the code that was added to <code>mod_mmap_static</code>:</p>
|
|
<div class="example"><pre>
|
|
static void register_hooks(void)
|
|
{
|
|
static const char * const aszPre[]={ "http_core.c",NULL };
|
|
ap_hook_post_config(mmap_post_config,NULL,NULL,HOOK_MIDDLE);
|
|
ap_hook_translate_name(mmap_static_xlat,aszPre,NULL,HOOK_LAST);
|
|
};</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This registers 2 functions that need to be called, one in
|
|
the <code>post_config</code> stage (virtually every module will need this
|
|
one) and one for the <code>translate_name</code> phase. note that while
|
|
there are different function names the format of each is
|
|
identical. So what is the format?</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
|
ap_hook_<var>phase_name</var>(<var>function_name</var>,
|
|
<var>predecessors</var>, <var>successors</var>, <var>position</var>);
|
|
</code></p></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are 3 hook positions defined...</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>HOOK_FIRST</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>HOOK_MIDDLE</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>HOOK_LAST</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>To define the position you use the position and then modify
|
|
it with the predecessors and successors. Each of the modifiers
|
|
can be a list of functions that should be called, either before
|
|
the function is run (predecessors) or after the function has
|
|
run (successors).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the <code>mod_mmap_static</code> case I didn't care about the
|
|
<code>post_config</code> stage, but the <code>mmap_static_xlat</code>
|
|
<strong>must</strong> be called after the core module had done it's name
|
|
translation, hence the use of the aszPre to define a modifier to the
|
|
position <code>HOOK_LAST</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="moddef" id="moddef">Module Definition</a></h3>
|
|
<p>There are now a lot fewer stages to worry about when
|
|
creating your module definition. The old defintion looked
|
|
like</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="example"><pre>
|
|
module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT <var>module_name</var>_module =
|
|
{
|
|
STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF,
|
|
/* initializer */
|
|
/* dir config creater */
|
|
/* dir merger --- default is to override */
|
|
/* server config */
|
|
/* merge server config */
|
|
/* command handlers */
|
|
/* handlers */
|
|
/* filename translation */
|
|
/* check_user_id */
|
|
/* check auth */
|
|
/* check access */
|
|
/* type_checker */
|
|
/* fixups */
|
|
/* logger */
|
|
/* header parser */
|
|
/* child_init */
|
|
/* child_exit */
|
|
/* post read-request */
|
|
};</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The new structure is a great deal simpler...</p>
|
|
<div class="example"><pre>
|
|
module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT <var>module_name</var>_module =
|
|
{
|
|
STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF,
|
|
/* create per-directory config structures */
|
|
/* merge per-directory config structures */
|
|
/* create per-server config structures */
|
|
/* merge per-server config structures */
|
|
/* command handlers */
|
|
/* handlers */
|
|
/* register hooks */
|
|
};</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some of these read directly across, some don't. I'll try to
|
|
summarise what should be done below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The stages that read directly across :</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>/* dir config creater */</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><code>/* create per-directory config structures */</code></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>/* server config */</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><code>/* create per-server config structures */</code></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>/* dir merger */</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><code>/* merge per-directory config structures */</code></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>/* merge server config */</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><code>/* merge per-server config structures */</code></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>/* command table */</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><code>/* command apr_table_t */</code></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>/* handlers */</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><code>/* handlers */</code></dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>The remainder of the old functions should be registered as
|
|
