Add the option to restart the XWiki instance #79

Closed ChiuchiuSorin closed 1 month ago

ChiuchiuSorin commented 6 months ago

in order to apply a patch, we need the option to trigger the restart of the XWiki instance.

I believe we also need a start of the XWiki instance since just stopping does not make sense (see #81)

I'm curious to know how you'd implement this since it depends a lot on the XWiki distribution used. We'd love to implement the ability to upgrade XWiki (which is basically a restart) but we haven't found a solution that works for all distributions.

After discussing with @mflorea and @oanalavinia, we came to the conclusion that this functionality is not yet viable, as the restart option is specific to every servlet engine and not fully supported by XWiki (the instance does not work properly after a restart). Also a restart process might behave unexpected if it's done manually from within XWiki, as tomcat does not offer a direct API to redeploy a webapp.
