Chapter 2. Getting started with rules
You can get started creating custom MTR rules by creating a rule or by reviewing the quickstarts.
2.1. Creating your first XML rule
This section guides you through the process of creating and testing your first MTR XML-based rule. This assumes that you have already installed MTR. See Installing and running the CLI in the CLI Guide for installation instructions.
In this example, you will write a rule to discover instances where an application defines a jboss-web.xml
file containing a <class-loading>
element and provide a link to the documentation that describes how to migrate the code.
2.1.1. Creating the directory structure for the rule
Create a directory structure to contain your first rule and the data file to use for testing.
$ mkdir -p /home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/rules $ mkdir -p /home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/data
This directory structure will also be used to hold the generated MTR reports.
2.1.2. Creating data to test the rule
-
Create a
jboss-web.xml
file in the/home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/data/
subdirectory. Copy in the following content.
<!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 4.2//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_4_2.dtd"> <jboss-web> <class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false"> <loader-repository> seam.jboss.org:loader=@projectName@ <loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config> </loader-repository> </class-loading> </jboss-web>
2.1.3. Creating the rule
MTR XML-based rules use the following rule pattern:
when(condition) perform(action) otherwise(action)
Procedure
In the
/home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/rules/
directory, create a file namedJBoss5-web-class-loading.windup.xml
that contains the following content:<?xml version="1.0"?> <ruleset id="<UNIQUE_RULESET_ID>" xmlns="http://windup.jboss.org/schema/jboss-ruleset" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://windup.jboss.org/schema/jboss-ruleset http://windup.jboss.org/schema/jboss-ruleset/windup-jboss-ruleset.xsd"> <metadata> <description> <!-- Ruleset Description --> </description> <dependencies> <!-- Ruleset Dependencies --> </dependencies> <sourceTechnology id="<SOURCE_ID>" versionRange="<SOURCE_VERSION_RANGE>"/> <targetTechnology id="<TARGET_ID>" versionRange="<TARGET_VERSION_RANGE>"/> <tag>Reviewed-2015-05-01</tag> </metadata> <rules> <rule id="<UNIQUE_RULE_ID>"> <when> <!-- Test for a condition here --> </when> <perform> <!-- Perform an action --> </perform> </rule> </rules> </ruleset>
NoteThe XML file name must include the
.windup.xml
extension. Otherwise, MTR does not evaluate the new rule.Add a unique identifier for the ruleset and rule:
-
Replace
<UNIQUE_RULESET_ID>
with an appropriate ruleset ID, for example,JBoss5-web-class-loading
. -
Replace
<UNIQUE_RULE_ID>
with an appropriate rule ID, for example,JBoss5-web-class-loading_001
.
-
Replace
Add the following ruleset add-on dependencies:
<dependencies> <addon id="org.jboss.windup.rules,windup-rules-javaee,3.0.0.Final"/> <addon id="org.jboss.windup.rules,windup-rules-java,3.0.0.Final"/> </dependencies>
Add the source and target technologies:
-
Replace
<SOURCE_ID>
witheap
. -
Replace
<TARGET_ID>
witheap
.
-
Replace
Set the source and target technology versions.
-
Replace
<SOURCE_VERSION_RANGE>
with(4,5)
. -
Replace
<TARGET_VERSION_RANGE>
with(6,)
.
See the Apache Maven version range specification for more information.
-
Replace
Complete the
when
condition. Because this rule tests for a match in an XML file,xmlfile
is used to evaluate the files.To match on the
class-loading
element that is a child ofjboss-web
, use the xpath expressionjboss-web/class-loading
.<when> <xmlfile matches="jboss-web/class-loading" /> </when>
Complete the
perform
action for this rule.-
Add a classification with a descriptive title and a level of effort of
1
. Provide a hint with an informative message and a link to documentation that describes the migration details.
<perform> <iteration> <classification title="JBoss Web Application Descriptor" effort="1"/> <hint title="JBoss Web XML class-loading element is no longer valid"> <message> The class-loading element is no longer valid in the jboss-web.xml file. </message> <link href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.4/html-single/Migration_Guide/index.html#Create_or_Modify_Files_That_Control_Class_Loading_in_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform_6" title="Create or Modify Files That Control Class Loading in JBoss EAP 6"/> </hint> </iteration> </perform>
-
Add a classification with a descriptive title and a level of effort of
The rule is now complete and should look like the following example.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <ruleset id="JBoss5-web-class-loading" xmlns="http://windup.jboss.org/schema/jboss-ruleset" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://windup.jboss.org/schema/jboss-ruleset http://windup.jboss.org/schema/jboss-ruleset/windup-jboss-ruleset.xsd"> <metadata> <description> This ruleset looks for the class-loading element in a jboss-web.xml file, which is no longer valid in JBoss EAP 6 </description> <dependencies> <addon id="org.jboss.windup.rules,windup-rules-javaee,3.0.0.Final"/> <addon id="org.jboss.windup.rules,windup-rules-java,3.0.0.Final"/> </dependencies> <sourceTechnology id="eap" versionRange="(4,5)"/> <targetTechnology id="eap" versionRange="[6,)"/> </metadata> <rules> <rule id="JBoss5-web-class-loading_001"> <when> <xmlfile matches="jboss-web/class-loading" /> </when> <perform> <iteration> <classification title="JBoss Web Application Descriptor" effort="1"/> <hint title="JBoss Web XML class-loading element is no longer valid"> <message> The class-loading element is no longer valid in the jboss-web.xml file. </message> <link href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.4/html-single/Migration_Guide/index.html#Create_or_Modify_Files_That_Control_Class_Loading_in_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform_6" title="Create or modify files that control class loading in JBoss EAP 6"/> </hint> </iteration> </perform> </rule> </rules> </ruleset>
2.1.4. Installing the rule
An MTR rule is installed by placing the rule into the appropriate directory.
Copy the JBoss5-web-class-loading.windup.xml
file to the <MTR_HOME>/rules/
directory.
$ cp /home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/rules/JBoss5-web-class-loading.windup.xml <MTR_HOME>/rules/
2.1.5. Testing the rule
Open a terminal and run the following command, passing the test file as an input argument and a directory for the output report.
$ <MTR_HOME>/bin/mta-cli --sourceMode --input /home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/data --output /home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/reports --target eap:6
You should see the following result.
Report created: /home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/reports/index.html Access it at this URL: file:///home/<USER_NAME>/migration-rules/reports/index.html
2.1.6. Reviewing the reports
Review the report to be sure that it provides the expected results. For a more detailed walkthrough of MTR reports, see the Reviewing the reports section of the MTR CLI Guide.
-

2.2. Reviewing the Migration Toolkit for Runtimes quickstarts
The Migration Toolkit for Runtimes quickstarts provide working examples of how to create custom Java-based rule add-ons and XML rules. You can use them as a starting point for creating your own custom rules.
Each quickstart has a README.adoc
file that contains instructions for that quickstart.
You can download a .zip
file of the latest version of the quickstarts. If you prefer to work with the source code, you can fork and clone the windup-quickstarts
project repository.
2.2.1. Downloading the latest quickstart
You can download the latest release of a quickstart.
Procedure
- Launch a browser and navigate to https://github.com/windup/windup-quickstarts/releases.
